Obama!

Well, I was wrong on both counts -- Obama has taken Iowa. But it was close.

This was Edwards best chance and I think he will now fade. HRC needed to keep this close and she did, but if she loses New Hampshire she is in real trouble.

It's Huckabee!

The GOP race is being called for Huckabee.

Early Results

According to Fox, the Democrats Big Three are in a close race.

On the GOP side, Huckabee's supporters have come out in droves at 35%, with Romney second at 23%. Thompson is third. If this holds, Romney is in a lot of trouble. Huckabee does not have the money or the constituency in New Hampshire, where McCain is in the lead and growing. A distant second place finish and Romney is done.

IOWA!

Yes folks, it is the Iowa Caucus. Or it is Caucuses. No I think it is Cauci.

Well whatever. After listening to pundits yammer about since November 2006, we now get the chance to hear them yammer about for the rest of the year.

My predictions:

Iowa

Edwards 34
Obama 31
Clinton 28
Biden 4
Richardson 1
Dodd 1
Kucinich 1
Gravel 0

Iowa Republicans

Romney 29
Huckabee 24
McCain 17
Thompson 15
Guiliani 7
Paul 7
Hunter 1
Keyes 0

Edwards if everyones real second choice, so despite Richardson and Kucinich's decision to back Obama second, I think Edwards still wins.

In the GOP, there are no second choices, and Romney holds on to win.
