1 down, 49 to go

Well, the Iowa caucuses are over, and Obama and Huckabee ended up the winners. Huckabee actually won more easily than people had anticipated. This gives Huckabee's campaign a huge boost, while Thompson's appears dead in the water: he needed a second-place finish badly, and came in third. Ron Paul garnered 10% of the vote, and national front-runner Giuliani walked away with 4%.

I wasn't really surprised by Obama's win, although Hillary's third-place finish came as something of a stunner. Apparently Edwards was able to close the gap. More later...
