iowa

Obama won Iowa. David Brooks from the New York Times summarizes best here.

I listened to Obama's speech last night and was inspired. You can watch it here.

I listened to Huckabee's speech and I now understand why he's gaining momentum. He's just downright likable. You listen to him and understand that even if you don't agree with his policies, you agree with his personality. Of course, voting for someone who is likable is what started this mess: many of us (myself included) voted for Bush Jr. in 2000 because he was "likable."
