The results are in from the Iowa caucus with some interesting results...
 | The Democratic race has Obama penciled in as a clear leader, way out ahead of Billary (thank fuck!). John Edwards seems to have come from behind to move into second place, pissing on Clinton's parade. As for poor Richardson trailing up the rear, I think we best not talk about it. The Republican race is the one which interests me. Giullani is faring terribly in this first test with just 3.5%, while Ron Paul is showing an excellent and solid performance for an underdog with 10%. Some interesting analysis over here suggests that the core republicans may be out of touch with the country as a whole! Amongst "Independent Republicans" Paul polled 29% vs McCain on 23%, Romney on 19% and Huckabee on just 17%, seemingly the reverse of the total polling figures. This would suggest that the Republican base has indeed dwindled, leaving a hardcore Christian-conservatives, while the libertarian Ron Paul resonates more with the wider electorate! |
