OMG Iowa Countdown! (Jan 3)

[Nubbins]

And of course that nutjob Huckabee had to win too.  Middle America... yet the South always gets the brunt of the liberals' wrath.

Huckabee is doomed... No way he'll get the nomination even if he sweeps the primaries.  So that side is still open.

Obama, though, just got handed the crown.  Unless he spends the rest of his time making gaffes and punching people, he'll sweep on Super Tuesday.  Hillary is such a shrill witch... And a sore loser.  Another blow and she'll trip out.

Very happy at the results.  A clear victory for Obama.  A great step towards electing an inexperienced novice to the White House!  Er... I mean, a fresh new voice.  Sorry.  I have to remember -- it's an important change, not a novice versus a robot versus a witch.

a novice versus a robot versus a witch.

Has the Democratic race been summed up better?

What the hell are you talking about, Nacho? Huckabee is as Reaganist and Republican as you can come! If he doesn't win, the only real viable candidates are McCain and Romney and McCain has 7 toes in the grave.

[nacho]

Perhaps it would be better to call him a sacrificial candidate.  He's the Goldwater of our era.  Big name, big deal, conservative freak, being groomed to lose gracefully to the Democrat shoo-in who, in turn, will become a de facto war president and not know how to handle the steam-roller much to the glory of the Republicans who get to wash their hands of the war and domestic turmoil for four years.

[Matt]

I disagree. Huckabee is a frightening candidate.

[Matt]

And the reason is why is that he's channeling those Reaganesque qualities, and he's hip enough (or has campaign consultants hip enough) to sway conservative youths that may not be politically involved with Republicanism, but who hate political correctness and affirmative action and immigrants or whatever prop the Republicans are shaking this week.

[nacho]

The small voting percentage of the small percentage of people who can vote will do as they're told.  This race goes to the Democrats.  And they'll burn for it.

I take it no one cares about New Hampshire.
