Round one is in the books with the Iowa Caucuses wrapping up in the Heartland.
On the GOP side, with 78% of the precincts reporting, Fox News is reporting Mike Huckabee as the easy winner with 34% of the vote followed by Mitt Romney at 25%, and then Fred Thompson and John McCain weighing in with 13% each.
On the left, things are a little tighter. With 96% of precincts chiming in Fox News is calling Barak Hussein Obama the winner with 38%, followed by a tight race for 2nd between John Edwards at 30% and Hillary at 29%. Bill Richardson apparently is still in the race and managed a whopping 2%, while Chris Dodd has seen the writing on the wall and dropped out.
Next up is New Hampshire on Jan. 8 where i think the dems will see much the same in terms of percentage, but i expect to see Hillary win there and Edwards remain at an annoying close 3rd. On the GOP side i don't think Huckabee will get much of a push out of this and i expect to see a close race between McCain and Romney.
When all is said and done, Hillary will probably still win the nomination...i have no clue on the GOP side though. It will probably come down to Super Tuesday on Feb. 5; and by then i hope to know who i'm voting for myself.
