A Romney/Huckaby ticket verses a Billery Clinton/stooge? ticket, and my vote goes to Ron Paul.

I think the candidate who can get people - young and old - to get out and register to vote, will get the vote.

I don't understand why they aren't focusing on these millions yet! Waiting for the primaries??

This system really is outdated...it used to be : As goes New Hampshire, so goes the country"

Now it's get on Iowa. And I fail to see WHY IOWA?? I've got some ideas as to "why Iowa" but if you want a demographic of the middle of the country, why not Illinois, or Wisconsin??

I think the old saying about The Nation following Iowa is very outdated. I just don't see it being very reflective of what will happen in CA NY and FLA.
What will be more interesting than anything will be to see what percentage actually shows up for the Primaries.
Everyone assumes that this is "the most important election of our time." But people seem so completely disenchanted with the whole thing that they might just say "f^ck it."
It could go either way

Iowa is a weird setup to begin with, lets see what happens when we get to states where they actually go to the polls.

The *real* poll numbers assuming no increased turnout by the youth vote and factoring those who have caucused before have Obama and Edwards tied and Hillary is 3rd...

Another condescending democrat who will end up with 20% of the vote in Iowa...

Her campaign goes negative two weeks after proclaiming that she won't attack democrats and 6 months after a painfully careful chat by the fireplace. Her going negative reminds how polarizing she is to the primary voters and everybody who is paying attention.

Obama is up by 2% in the last two weeks. Her support is soft name recognition from people who have mostly not caucused. She is in deep trouble.

Caucuses (cauci?) are notoriously difficult to poll accurately. Assuming that this data is correct, it really gives no new info for the Dems. Clinton and Obama tied for the lead. Bill Clinton is the consummate retail politics campaigner and will be in Iowa from now until the caucus date. And Oprah is going to be there too. An interesting wrinkle, but will it work? There are two Democratic tickets out of Iowa and both will have one.

Even if the ordained Southern Baptist Minister, Reverend Huckabee comes in second, he is going to be the real winner on the GOP side. Reverend Huckabee has zero appeal outside of the Bible Belt, but he gets one of three GOP tickets out of Iowa. Romney gets first class, Reverend Huckabee, business class and Guiliani goes coach.

I don't think Hillary, in her confident arrogance, is laughing anymore at the serious questions. Time for Bill to come out, just like Bush trots Laura out in a sticky wicket situation.

I don't think she is laughing any more. That attitude now looks entirely frivolous.
She was caught in over confidence, because, well because she had a lot of money and that meant to her she was the annointed winner. When she laughed and cackled at serious questions,she thought she was, most certainly, the sure winner. Looks like she is being taken down by Obama, and good for him. I hope he keeps it up. I think he has the energy. As a result of this intrusion upon her queenly right to be the winner, her methods of defense are cheap and sleezy at this point.

Now we see her and her campaign indulging in smears against Obama--Rovian style.

Shows Clinton right where she was about three weeks ago, Obama jumped two points and Edwards jumped three.

Wonder what the Edwards internals are showing...
