President Huckabee - Crazy blogger say 'what'

Well the first part is in reference to Huckabee winning Iowa in the caucuses, or cauci whatever the plural form is, last night, and the second part is a Hanna Montana reference. Obama won on the democratic side, and why wouldn't he. They got all them corn stalks out there and you know they got a little reefer hiding amongst all that corn somewhere. Now I'm not saying that Iowa has a bunch of pot heads or anything, but there are at least 22% of people on the democratic side that are racist women haters. I mean how else do you explain John Edwards getting 22% of the vote. Anyway, I don't think this primary is the telling tale of what will happen, and Huck should enjoy this one for 4 more days until New Hampshire where the Republican primary is going to turn course. I think it was easier for him to get around the state, press the flesh and kind of do the anti-Rudy thing and focus on the early states, but I think he is going to run out of time during the next set of primaries. I think the other candidates have done more in other states that will wipe out the early advantage and come super Tuesday it is likely to see him slide back into that second tier. Iowa is like a marathon, there is lots of time leading up to it and you can hit all the big spots and really get your message out, but the rest of the primaries are like a sprint and it is one here one there until super Tuesday in February. I don't think Huck will win, but I don't think Rudy's strategy of waiting until the big states is going to pay off either. He wasn't even in the top 5 at Iowa and Huck and Mitt are gonna ride the wave of free press until they get to super Tuesday. By that point Rudy may be an after thought and even if he does win the nomination, he could lose a lot of states in the general election because he didn't want anything to do with them in the primary. I could be wrong, but I think you have to at least show up to the state where the primary is being held when they are this spread out time wise. By not showing up at Iowa and probably not New Hampshire he is going to lose a lot of steam and some people are going to start questioning whether he really wants the nomination or not. I think this strategy is going to backfire big time, but if it doesn't then no one will campaign in Iowa again. You know unless they like reefer and stuff.

Hey somebody check one of those corn fields for Tom Tancredo, whatever happened to that guy.
