caucus by a clear margin over Romney. Thompson has come in at a weak third.

Huckabee, Romney, and Thompson.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Concerning the Democratic caucus, the lead
changes constantly between Obama, Edwards, and Clinton (all stabilizing right
around 32% with no more than ten votes between first and third). The fact that
the three leading candidates account for 96% to 97% of the delegates (with 3%
to 4% spread over the remainder of the field), coupled with the 15-percent rule
(where a candidate must carry a minimum of 15% of the delegates or relinquish
his/her delegates to other candidates), makes this Iowa Democrat Caucus a very,
very close call. Although MSNBC has just predicted Obama will win.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma'>CNN projects Mike Huckabee as the
GOP caucus winner in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Iowa</st1:place></st1:State>,
followed by Romney, then Thompson. On the Democratic side, Edwards, Obama
and Clinton are fairly evenly matched and only Bill Richardson has made any
statistically notable waves among the second-tier candidates.<br>
<br>
I've been for Edwards since he announced, and while I would be happy with
any of the Democrats (except for Kucinich and Gravel), I would be ecstatic if
we had an Edwards/Obama or Edwards/Richardson, or an Obama/???, ticket in
2008. And two great things happen on January 20, 2009 -- my son turns 20
(he was born on the final day of the Reagan administration) and the days of the
Bush presidency are no more. <br>
<br>
On a final note, I'm dismayed that several commentators have noted that the GOP
voters who identify as evangelicals consider illegal immigration their top
issue. It would be wonderful if their top concern was justice and
opportunity for the poor, but I'm guessing that the gospel of Glenn Beck, Lou
Dobbs, Laura Ingraham and Pat Buchanan has trumped the Gospel of that other guy
