The day after: Obama and Huckabee win big in Iowa

The results speak for themselves, at many levels. First, the numbers.

Dems:
Obama - 38%
Edwards - 30%
Hillary - 29%
Richardson - 2%
Biden - 1%
The Rest - well, 0%

Repubs:
Huckabee - 34%
Romney - 25%
Thompson - 13%
McCain - 13%
Paul - 10%
Giuliani - 3%
The Rest - see above

The big headlines I'd say are (1) Obama rules by crushing, relatively speaking, Edwards and Hillary; (2) Huckabee turned out the evangelical base and the remaining mainstream Republicans couldn't decide on Romney, Thompson, and McCain; (3) Paul did well, garnering ten percent--doesn't seem like much, but as a virulently anti-establishment candidate, this is impressive; (4) Giuliani blows ass, but had this great quotation about it: ""None of this worries me -- Sept. 11, there were times I was worried" HAHAHA. Good luck in New Hampshire!; and (5) turn-out was huge including among the young (see: Obama) and evangelical (see: Huckabee). But even better, the Dems beat Repubs in turnout this year 239,000 to merely 117,000. Democrats also almost doubled turnout between 2004 and 2008.

Now on to New Hampshire, four days away!

Go Obama.
