Hillary Gets Her Donkey Handed To Her By Obama
The Iowa Caucus has spoken: Obama wins in that state for the Democratic Party and Huckabee wins for the GOP. This is a mixed bag of nuts for me. I am not surprised by the outcome. I am delighted that Hillary got her Donkey handed to her by Obama. Not sure how I feel about the GOP outcome. Admittedly, I hoped to see it turn out to be a closer contest between Huckabee and Romney, and not such a wide margin. It would have been nice if Thompson had beat McCain by more than a point. But such is life and politics.
I caught part of some of the speeches on the drive home from my Townhall Meetup meeting (the Ron Paulite that promised to be there was a no show!) and I must admit that I was very impressed by Huckabee's speech. He spoke of the founding fathers, the Declaration of Independence, and how "a soldier fights not because he hates those in front of him but because he loves those that are behind him." This resonated very well with me, and I give him credit for that. If he keeps making speeches like that, then he could become our next president. Not sure how I feel about that, and I may change my mind about him…again. I guess this means I'll have to review his position statements on the issues. We'll see how things shake out in the next few weeks.
The other speeches I caught parts of were John Edwards and Hillary Clinton, neither of whom spoke of the founding of our nation like Huckabee. Hillary said, where our nation is concerned, it is time to start over again. and beat up on the Bush Administration.
As usual. Edwards was a "homeboy" type speech and just didn't do anything for me.
I did not hear Obama's or any of the other GOP candidate speeches. I have no doubt that I will be treated to sound bites on the morning commute.
