It’s 9:45, and they are calling it for Obama and Huckabee. Three of the five Iowa farmers have voted, so they can predict the outcome.

Hucka-who should enjoy this win, because voters in other states get a little uncomfortable about candidates who think that they are on a mission from God. And watching coverage on CNN tonight, I believe that his campaign manager is insane.

Obama’s win doesn’t mean that Hillary’s washed up. Obama has had Iowa locked up for quite a while, because he’s from the next state over. This isn’t a huge surprise.  However, Obama has been getting a lot more attention in the past month. I’m curious to see what happens in NH.

Conservatives love Obama. Bill Bennett and Kristol were cooing over him tonight. I’m puzzled about all these conservative smooches for Obama. Are they just happy to hurt Hillary or is it something deeper?

UPDATE: Must read this post by Greenwald on Hillary’s relationship with the press.
