I'm honestly speechless. Two months ago I don't think I even knew who Mike Huckabee was, and now he has sealed his place as a contender for the GOP nomination. Romney bombing in Iowa was something no one could have predicted either. Hell, the only place he was probably suspected to do better in was Utah. I'm also more than shocked that Giuiliani wasn't even on the radar in Iowa. Coming into the race, he probably held the most star power of any of the candidates, now he's just one of those guys trailing in the back of the crowd asking the guy in the big hat in front of him whats going on up front.
There wasn't as many surprises on the Dem side though. I think Clinton is taking the right approach with the results. Coming in 3rd place, by a margin of 1% is nothing to feel discouraged about. On the other hand, Edwards should be jumping out of his skin right now. He has a lot of underdog momentum right now, but I would suspect it might not last as long as he might hope. One thing I'm not surprised about is Obama's success. It was either going to be him or Clinton, he just came up on top. It still is absolutely anyone's game on the blue side, but I'm surprised its anyone's game between 3 people as opposed to 2.
