Obama Wins Iowa
Am I the only one surprised by this? I bow down to the power of Oprah. Anyway, the fight moves forward to New Hampshire.

About the author
My name is Keishon and I'm an avid reader of romance, crime fiction and graphic novels. I tend to read all over the map and prefer the older romances from the 90's rather than the new romances of today. I enjoy reading and discussing books and I hope you enjoy your visit here. Some of my favorite authors include but are not limited to Laura Kinsale, Penelope Williamson, Kathleen Eagle, Michael Connelly, Julia Spencer-Fleming and my latest crush is on Nordic crime novelist, Jo Nesbø (start with The Redbreast if interested).

Hey Nicole, I was partially joking on that “Oprah remark.” I know she’s been campaigning for him. Heard it was a very high turn out.
jmc — I pretty much had the same expectations. I guess this serves as a wake up call for her. Obama is the one to beat.
Hey Karen, this win is a big boost for him.

It surprised the hell outta me, but very pleased all the same.

Coming from Iowa here, I don’t really think Oprah made that huge a difference. Her presence didn’t seem that huge. But Obama was the only candidate that I ever heard who had real people doing the political calling. All the others I ever got were recordings.
I was surprised by Edwards beating Clinton, but it looks like a ton more younger people came out for the caucus this time around, and Clinton isn’t getting the younger votes. I wonder if she’ll change things up to do that.

I was quite surprised. I really thought it would be Clinton-Obama. And I’m a bit peeved by the spin of all the news casting it as Obama-Clinton-Edwards when Edwards edged Clinton…even though she outspent him 2:1 and Obama outspent him 3:1.
