settling in for the long haul

The people of Iowa have spoken! And what they said is kind of weird, but definitely interesting.

Comments:

First, I must say that I've become more and more convinced that John Edwards is the best Democratic candidate. Why? Because he has plans. And he's angry about things that we should all be angry about, like unnecessary war, and poverty, and profit-driven healthcare and education. I like Obama, I like his optimism, and I really like that he's inspiring people to come out and get excited and involved. But I don't see proof that he is tough enough to not get eaten alive, were he elected, and I don't think he has the experience to be able to avoid finding himself with some really unfortunate bedfellows.

Second, haha, too bad for you, Hillary! I am thrilled that she didn't do all that well. Interesting, huh? I'm certainly in the demographic that is presumed to be Hillary supporters. But good Lord no. "Hate" might be too strong a word for how I feel about her... but loathing and revulsion capture it pretty well. There is no candidate I trust less.

Third, just to remind you, Mike Huckabee is insane and must not be elected President. (However, I have to say that I've been calling this whole "shocking" Huckabee surge for a good long while now. And even though I just gloated, I really hate to be right on this one.)

Now, as I sit approximately a quarter of a mile from New Hampshire, things are about to get even more interesting...
