After the completion of the Iowa caucus we can walk away having learned a few things. First we learned that Obama is completely viable, and was pushed to the front by young voters and independents. More to come on the power of youth later.
We also learned of the power of Evangelicals. They came out in an amazing way supporting Mike Huckabee. Although I like his semi populist message I see nothing but future problems for him especially in the so called purple states. We know he can energize his base, but can he energize the rest of conservatives? Will the unite behind him if he can take his Iowa win further.
A third thing we learned was how bad all the predictions were. I myself botched a few. That's all water under the bridge now as we move on to New Hampshire.
On a side note I am disgusted by Hillary's trashing of Iowa voters. For someone to say that they are wrong and that they don't make the decision of the nominee after kissing the a$$ for the last 8 months is just wrong. I know this is the Clinton spin machine trying to shake off the loss and rebound, but she could of just moved on.
Nice 10% showing by Ron Paul too, maybe Fox News will finally let him debate.
