Hey there, people. I was pretty close in my predictions.
On the Republican side, I'm surprised that Huckabee won, but then I'm not surprised. Somebody had to take the "Christian" vote and you just knew wasn't going to be Romney and it also wasn't going to be Thompson, McCain, or Ron Paul. Overall, I'm not particularly impressed with the Huckabee victory long-term, but you never know.
Speaking of Thompson, he did very very well (3rd place) considering all the negative and false shit dished out by the media. Giuliani didn't (6th!). John McCain will be taking his dead cat bounce in New Hampshire before falling apart.
On the Democratic side, it turned out just like I thought. I thought Edwards might do a little better and Hillary a little worse. But third place for Hillary! Ha ha ha, Vilsack and the Register couldn't deliver Ms Inevitable the state of Iowa!
And how about Obama! I'm watching his live speech right now. I don't like most of his policies, but he's good. Really good.
Update: Joe Says "...it's a dumb way to pick a president..."
Yes, I agree. Iowa ought to have a primary. Time to get out of the mid-1800's.

Rudy was polling at 6th, it's no big surprise that he ended up there.
If we move to a primary system, New Hampshire will be pissed and try to go earlier than us. We risk losing our prestige if we change our system.
The number of Independents (myself included) and Republicans at the small rural caucus I attended that supported Obama was impressive.
He is indeed "real good."
Incidentally, I don't like most of Huckabee's policies, but I like him.
