Did someone say election coverage?

after a long hiatus, I'm back. I just wanted to be yet another voice on the Internet. So how is the election going?

Iowa

It was interesting there. On the Democratic side, this showed just how much support the 2nd tier candidates have. Kucinich et al got pwned, receiving less votes than "uncommitted". But what's interesting is the top three. Obama got first place, with Edwards second, and Clinton a close third. However, Clinton ultimately received more delegates than Edwards, and only one less than Obama. So while some may say that Obama won, anyone serious can clearly see that the primary is still open for those three candidates. But as a result of the media blitz, Obama's chances have been artificially increased.

The results on the Republican side were also interesting. Huckabee won, with the next person Romney, a distant second. But it is third place that is interesting: McCain, Thompson, and Paul were all head to head. Whereas on the democrats, only those top three have a chance of winning the primary, the Republicans seem to say that it is still completely open to all candidates, except for Hunter. Giuliani received less votes than Paul, which surprised many people.

Wyoming

Little known Wyoming is interesting. as of right now, Romney is leading with the most delegates there (6), followed by Hunter and Thompson (1 each). 57% of precincts. But does a candidate really want to be identified with the other dude from Wyoming (Dick Cheney)?


New Hampshire is where it's at. Stay tuned.
