Leaving Iowa

Democratic Party:

It's only Iowa, but I'm slightly surprised at the Obama win (as well as the showing by Edwards). Clinton is the only real candidate among those three (as inexperienced as she is, she still has more than the other two).

Would Democrats really offer up a national candidate as green as either Edwards or Obama?

Republican Party:

Again, it's only Iowa, but Mike Huckabee's shift in status from als0-ran to the top tier of GOP candidates certainly changes the landscape. Early on, I had hoped that either Huckabee or Duncan Hunter would start gaining some traction. After learning more about Huckabee's record, I wish that it had been Hunter instead of Huckabee.

Huckabee strikes me as more moderate and smooth-talking version of George W. Bush. I have doubts about the viability of his campaign, as with Romney.
