"None of this worries me -- Sept. 11, there were times I was worried."
-Rudy Giuliani's reaction to placing sixth in the Iowa caucus.
::Joseph Biden and Chris Dodd dropped out of the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. This not surprising, as neither of these distinguished Senators were able to rally support.
:: An estimated 67,000 Iowans cast votes for Senator Hillary Clinton. That got her only third place. On the other hand, Republican-winner Mike Huckabee only got a total of 32,000 Iowans to vote for him. That's less than half of the third place Democrat!!! Here's how it looks:
Percentage of total vote
24.5% Obama (D)
20.5% Edwards (D)
19.8% Clinton (D)
11.4% Huckabee (R)
Total Voter Turnout: 356,000
::The youth vote is what lifted Obama to victory. In 2004, only 4% of caucus goers were between the ages of 18-29. This time, it was over 11%. Of 18-29 year-olds, over 57% of them voted for Obama.

The beginning of the end if either of these candidates end up in the white house (not that huckabee will sustain this). Socialized health care, higher taxes and regulated markets, here we come!

I opened this website for myself long time ago. Today it has become even better. I like the links and info that is given here, I just dislike some people. They make a lot of mistakes when posting or commenting. They are usually rude and have a bunch of problems I think. They spoil this website. I would want them to leave this place alone and go somewhere else to have their kind of fun.

This blog is simply smashing. In my humble opinion of course. As this post is rather debatable I don't think all your blog visitors are going to agree with it.
