Iowa Caucus Aftermath

Initial reactions - Obama has legs and is a real contender. One can not deny his charisma. My only hope is he backs off just slightly with the cadence he seems to get into as he gets wound up. Forget the technicalities of his proposals... he knows how to deliver a line - he makes you 'believe' probably better than anyone I've heard in years.

Hillary - watch the claws come out. She is in trouble.

Edwards - he is the one I fear most just because of what he says - I think he is probably finished so letting that fear subside.

Huckabee - Not sold yet, and truth be known, I don't think he will hold up. He is shrewd, no doubt about that - his 'Satan' comment regarding the Mormons, bend on over and slide it all the way in... very slick. The Christian way doncha know.

Romney - hurt badly in Iowa by his showing - spent too much money not to win. Will lose in New Hampshire to McCain and probably miss in South Carolina also.

McCain - big winner in Iowa - needed Huckabee to knock off Romney - will return the favor to Huckabee in New Hampshire, then those two will become enemies.

Rudy - where is Rudy? May have erred by skipping Iowa... time will tell.
