Victory!

I have been an Obama supporter for some time, so naturally I'm gratified by the Iowa result. Being the sort of conflicted individual that I am, I'm also a bit nervous. Is he ready? Are we making a mistake in throwing out Hillary? Wouldn't we be better off with the more liberal Edwards? Conventional wisdom says Edwards is likely done. Hillary is poised on the knife edge, but still leads New Hampshire and national polls.

There is reason to be a bit cheerful about Huckabee's victory as well. He is the second most authentic Republican candidate and not quite as scary as Ron Paul. The phony Romney and his money went down, and the ultra scary Giuliani finished fifth. McCain and Huckabee now look likely to duke it out, though Romney and Giuliani probably can't be counted out yet - and Paul could still make some big noise in libertarian New Hampshire. It should stay interesting for at least another five days.
