For some reason, John Kerry has won the Iowa caucuses even though it's hard to figure out what his actual views on the war on Iraq is. First he voted for the war, then he criticized Bush over the war.
Though I did find it amusing to hear Kerry few days B4 the caucus, saying "Are you ready for a surge? Are you ready for more surge and more surge and more surge?"
Dean, the supposed front runner got 3rd place after Kerry and Edwards. And Dean was yelling at the top of his lungs about how he's going to win it all! It was funny to hear Perry and PRice mocking Dean about that this morning.
So much for Gephardt! He thought he could gain support as the anti-trade candidate! He didn't expect Dean to successfully promote his anti-trade agenda! After all, why vote for anti-trade Gephardt when one can get so much more from anti-trade Dean.
And I'm still trying to figure out why Iowa and New Hampshire are the 1st states to hold caucuses and primaries for the Presidential elections. Nothing against Iowa and New Hampshire, mind you?
For something as big as the Presidential elections, they ought to move the 1st primaries to California and Texas. Why? 1) They're the most populated and 2) you got one big LIBERAL state and one big CONSERVATIVE state. This will force candidates to attempt to appeal to both liberal and conservative audiences right from the beginning of the campaign. Those who can do that can go to Florida for its moderate audience, then after that, go on to all the other states.
