The Hawkeye Cauci are over, and the results are in: Mike Huckabee sweeps Iowa with a comfortable nine-point lead over Mitt Romney. Democrat candidate Barack Obama also won the Democratic side with a lead of eight percentage points ahead of John Edwards, and nine percent ahead of Hillary Clinton, who came in a rather dismal third place.
The complete results are as follows:
Republicans:
Mike Huckabee - 34%
Mitt Romney - 25%
John McCain - 13%
Fred Thompson - 13%
Ron Paul - 10%
Rudy Giuliani - 4%
Democrats:
Barack Obama - 38%
John Edwards - 30%
Hillary Clinton - 29%
Bill Richardson - 2%
Democrats Joe Biden and Chris Dodd, not even registering on the radar in Iowa, both announced this evening that they are dropping out of the race for president.
As far as my personal predictions go, I wasn't too off on the Republican side. I slightly underestimated Huckabee, slightly overestimated Romney and McCain, underestimated Ron Paul, and was closer with Thompson and Giuliani. I think the biggest surprise to me was that McCain didn't do as well as I thought he would with his recent "surge". Ron Paul's numbers were not a surprise to me despite the fact that I predicted them about six percent lower. I had a feeling that Ron Paul's passionate base is larger than many people give it credit. One guy who I would not want to be tonight is Mitt Romney. He spent over nine million dollars, ran a plethora of ads, and lost to a former dark-horse also-ran candidate by a whopping nine percentage points. I was really looking forward to what Romney had to say after that, but I didn't catch it on the news, and it's not up yet on YouTube.
On the Democrat side, I was absolutely right about Obama. People see through Hillary and are sick of the status quo, which I believe she represents on the democratic side of things. Edwards did surprisingly, but not-so-surprisingly well. I just keep wondering how Hillary held it together long enough to give a speech... Apparently, however, she's not giving up quite yet (did we ever expect her to?).
So, many of the pundits' predictions were wrong on both sides. Interesting.

By Duane V. Maxey
Once again, professed Christians voters have shown how stupid they are as voters!
In the Iowa caucuses, swooning "Christian" voters swept former Arkansas Governor, Mike "The Huckster" Huckabee to a victory.
True, this is only a small beginning of a long Presidential Campaign, but it demonstrates how gullible Christian Voters often have been, and are.
Mike Huckabee is Pro-Illegal-Alien -- in favor of all sorts of leniency for those in this nation Illegally.
Mike Huckabee was guilty of all sorts of questionable, if not downright illegal, practices during his governorship in Arkansas.
Mike Huckabee's record clearly shows him to be a Liberal, not a Conservative.
Mike Huckabee is "in the hip pocket" of the CFR-Globalist conspirators who are even now building the North American Union. Until Huckabee spoke before the CFR, he was considered to be an unknown dolt, but after he "WOWED" the CFR with that speech, suddenly his political fortune zoomed to the front.
But, BECAUSE MIKE HUCKABEE IS A BAPTIST MINISTER AND PROFESSED CHRISTIAN, NONE OF THESE THINGS MATTERED TO DUPED AND STUPID "CHRISTIAN" VOTERS IN THE IOWA CAUCUSES!
"WE LIKE MIKE!" "WE LIKE MIKE!" "WE LIKE MIKE!" "WE LIKE MIKE!" THEY SHOUTED in the aftermath of his Iowa victory.
And WHY? Because "Mike" is "one of US!" and he will uphold Christian values in America! -- SO THEY FOOLISHLY THINK!
It is high-time Christians and Conservatives of all types got their heads screwed on straight!
If, one more time, professed Christians elect a Mike Huckabee, as they did George W. Bush, they are playing right into the hands of the CFR-Globalists and put a man in the White House, who in reality is a rank liberal who will betray many of their domestic issues and who will betray the sovereignty of this nation!
MIKE HUCKABEE WOULD CONTINUE TO PUSH THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION, THE LAWS OF WHICH WILL SUPERSEDE OUR U.S. LAWS!
"Oh, but Mike will oppose Abortion!"
"Oh, but Mike will oppose Gay Rights!"
"Oh but Mike will oppose anti-Christians!"
OH, BUT MIKE WILL SELL U.S. SOVEREIGNTY DOWN THE DRAIN -- AND THEN THE GLOBALIST POWERS WILL RULE AMERICA -- AND WILL:
(a) Make it illegal to oppose Abortion!
(b) Make it illegal to oppose Gay Rights!
(c) PERSECUTE CHRISTIANS AND PUSH THE AGENDA OF CHRIST-HATERS!
And this will happen if any of the "Top Tier" Republican Candidates is elected: either, Huckabee, Romney, Thompson or Guiliani, or McCain!
Our nation is in the process of being destroyed! LOSE OUR SOVEREIGNTY, AND WE LOSE ALL!
But, those pushing the Globalist Agenda want this fact kept in the background, and they are SO PLEASED THAT SO MANY "CHRISTIAN" VOTERS IN IOWA WERE SO STUPID!
Mark the words of this 70-year-old, retired preacher:
"IF OBAMA, HILLARY, HUCKABEE, ROMNEY (or any of the current, "Top Tier" Candidates) is elected President of the U.S.
(1) Millions of more Hispanics and OTM illegals will continue to flood into the U.S.
(2) The 4 HUGE SPP-NAU Corridors, linking Mexico with the U.S. and Canada will be built and operating no later than 2012-2020.
(3) By 2012-2020, the NORTH AMERICAN UNION BE THE RULING POWER OVER THE U.S.
(4) Those duped voters themselves, their children and their grandchildren will be subject to ALL OF THE EVILS FROM WHICH THEY THINK HUCKABEE WILL SAVE US!
WAKE UP! AMERICANS!
The issue at stake in the 2008 Election will be:
"WHETHER THIS NATION, OR ANY NATION, SO CONCEIVED, AND SO DEDICATED, CAN LONG ENDURE" with the very real threat of a subjugating North American Union just about to conquer us!
Generally, I do not like an email I receive to end with: "If you care about this, Please Pass It On!" This time, I am going to make that request: "IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT WHAT BECOMES OF THIS NATION AS THE RESULT OF THE 2008 ELECTION, PLEASE PASS THIS ON!"
If you are one of those who says: "God will take care of everything quite nicely without my participation," THEN YOU WILL HAVE NOBODY TO BLAME BUT YOURSELF WHEN YOUR RIGHT TO PREACH THE GOSPEL, OR EVEN READ THE BIBLE IN PUBLIC IS GONE.
Just the other day, a Seventh Day Adventist mother who was reading her Bible aloud to her children on a city bus going to church was asked to stop reading it. When she refused, she and her children were forced get off the bus!
MIKE HUCKABEE WILL NOT STOP THE MOVES IN THIS DIRECTION! BY ALLOWING THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION TO OVERRULE U.S. LAWS AND RIGHTS, HUCKABEE WILL BRING ABOUT THE NAU, THE LAWS OF WHICH WILL ADVANCE, NOT DEFEAT, THE AGENDA OF CHRIST-HATERS IN THIS LAND!
The Globalists pushing his candidacy know this, but apparently a number of duped "Christian" Voters in Iowa did not. Do YOU know it?
FOR SALE: Chitty Chitty Bang bang $1,500 obo
You know very well that almost everything in that email is a load of garbage.
Gee, I thought you'd be gloating about Ron Paul's amazing 10%. Nope, apparently not.
