Huckabee, Obama Win in Iowa

All major outlets declaring Mike Huckabee a winner over my guy, Mitt Romney, with the two of them garnering the most votes (by a lot). Thompson, McCain, and Ron Paul following in suit bunched together. Rudy put forth a single digits effort (which I guess is "according to his plan"). Meanwhile on the Democratic side, a verrrrrrrrry tight race. Obama squeaks one out over Edwards and Clinton, who finished in that order.

Now on to New Hampshire where we see how the race unfolds from there. Not good initial news for my folks in the Romney camp. Luckily, New Hampshire is somewhat of a home game for Romney, but it'll be make or break. There, it'll be McCain who is the toughest competition. McCain didn't get the valued third place finish in Iowa, nor will he pick up his bread and butter "independent" votes who are now going for Obama. Still, Romney is limping into New Hampshire... albeit with a huge bankroll and a significant organization. Of course that didn't work in Iowa, but the dynamics are different. Or something.
