NPR: Huckabee, Obama Win Iowa Caucuses

Huckabee, Obama Win Iowa Caucuses

NPR projects that former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee will win the Republican race in the Iowa caucuses, while Illinois Senator Barack Obama will win the Democratic race.

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney finished second for the Republicans. The Democratic contest for second is too close to call, with former North Carolina Senator John Edwards maintaining a small lead over New York Senator Hillary Clinton

Thoughts... Huckabee versus McCain for forseeable future...Three way battle among the dems could pave way for Richardson... What about Giuliani?

Dismayed to hear Mr. Huckabee say "...it begins (began?) here, but it doesn't end here..." in Iowa victory speech. Would've liked to hear "...it began here and will continue...". Perhaps a small thing, but the casual use of "negative" words, in this case "doesn't", causes me to believe Mr. Huckabee possesses a fundamentally negative attitude towards life. Elimination of "N" words from ones speech takes practice and thought. I believe Mr. Huckabee has yet to travel this road.
