I'm not clear why a story which is headlined "Obama and Huckabee win.." has become one about Huckabee alone. Not even any tags for Obama. In actuality Hillary's loss is perhaps the most significant data to emerge.
Enough of the "same-old, same-old"?
Perhaps the most telling and possibly frightening comment quoted:
"Tonight what we have seen is a new day in American politics," Huckabee, with actor and supporter Chuck Norris nearby, told cheering backers in Des Moines. "Tonight we proved that American politics is still in the hands of people like you."

Any betting folks out there?? William Hill in England - the World's Biggest Online Bookmaker [and they have been around for a LONG time] offer a book on the election here: http://www.willhill.com/iibs/en/buildcoupon.asp...
For just less than an hour from now you can get odds of 9/4 against Obama for President, Hillary is still 11/8..
Next comes Guiliani @ 7-1, McCain 8-1, Huckabee 12-1.
Money talks? These odds look ready for a big shift after yesterday.
At these prices Obama and Huckabee are the "value" bets.

When I saw the papers this morning telling me that Obama and Huckabee won in Iowa, I told my wife what a disaster it would be if I had to choose between those two for the presidency.
