After the New Hampshire primaries I related hearing on the radio a story from Bob Scheer about a person from Clinton’s campaign team saying that Hilary is a better candidate because Obama has relatively little political experience and using Bill Clinton’s first term as an example of what could happen if we elected a relative political novice.
Perfect timing…

I’m about as good as I am at predicting March Madness game outcomes. And it takes about as much skill – in other words none.
As David Brooks put it – all the pundits were wrong!
The only thing I’m sure of is Mitt Romney’s Medal handouts after each primary are going to get old fast… Next up, “well, we didn’t get the gold, or the silver, or the bronze… I’m going home.” ha

Last Thursday was Iowa’s caucus night. It was a media bonanza. On the Democratic side Barack Obama took 38%, Edwards 30%, and Clinton 29%, while for the Republicans Huckabee ran away with 34% over Romney’s 25%. Thompson and McCain each took 13%, Ron Paul 10%, and Giuliani at 4%.
Apparently 60% of republican caucus-goers identified themselves as evangelical. They overwhelmingly went for Huckabee, and all Romney’s cash could only muster 25%. It got Huckabee a solid upset victory and perhaps more importantly, Romney a significant defeat.
Romney picked up a preposterous chunk of Wyoming but hey, it’s probably the only state where Cheney could be on the ticket and probably win! Now how preposterous is that?
The Republican contest is as, if not more, interesting because rather than having too many favorites, there just aren’t any.
