My Republican predictions were spot on with the exception that McCain technically finished fourth, 300 or 400 votes behind Fred Thompson. Chalk one up for Mr. Law & Order. Iowa has always had a serious religious bent. Combine that with Huckabee's superior personal skills and charismatic speaking ability and I can't see how this was such a big surprise to the media. Although, I don't live in Washington or New York so I'm not afflicted by Beltway or Manhattan myopia.
Seriously, did Mitt Romney seem credible in Iowa? The whole flannel shirt, I'm a regular guy approach seemed so false that it was laughable. He's a politician! He's from a political family. His father was governor of Michigan. He ran against Nixon for the White House. Did Mitt think that a bad Christmas gift from LL Bean was going to convince people that he's just a regular Joe? C'mon Mitt you're a multi-millionaire with the most extensive business background of anyone in either party. Why try and convince people you're a right wing hardliner with serious religious convictions? You were elected Governor of Massachusetts - home of the Kennedys and Tip O"Neal for God's sake. Stop attacking likeable Huck and get to work! Otherwise, see if you can join in the Mike Gravel - Dennis Kucinich cage match. (see Jan 2 post).

I like Chuck Norris. He's like the Hervé Villechaize to the Huckabee camnpaign.
And really, did you see how WHITE Chuck's teeth were? Each time he smiled behind Huckabee I couldn't believe it. They are either dentures that he dips in bleach every night, or he keeps his dentist very busy.
Chuck Norris' teeth were so white, the Christian Coalition quickly endorsed his face.
