In the end, voters want real people with actual arguments in order to change the country. That’s why Huckabee and Obama have prevailed. They’re real. The establishments of both parties lost.

I expect the Clinton campaign to launch a vicious, sleazy attack against Obama, which will backfire, convincing more people not to vote for Hillary. Obama or Edwards could win the presidency. I doubt she can, her negatives are way too high and people want change.

Guliani is toast. I suspect his numbers collapsed on precisely the same day that his ex NYPD chief of police got indicted on multiple federal felonies.

Ron Paul polled 10%, a highly respectable number for a supposed fringe candidate. If he does better in New Hampshire, and he could, then he becomes a player.

Any previous poll numbers for New Hampshire are now null and void. New polls need to taken because of the momentum created by the Iowa upset.

“American foreign policy needs to change its tone and attitude, open up, and reach out,” Huckabee wrote in the journal Foreign Affairs. “The Bush administration’s arrogant bunker mentality has been counterproductive at home and abroad.”– Mike Huckabee

This is coming from Bush’s right flank… Interesting.

But Huckabee is already backing down (sort of)

Then there’s this

“He seems like a nice charming guy… doesn’t believe in evolution and has some nutty views about what it is we should do about ending violence in our inner city — we should make sure all of our young people are armed. Republicans scare me.”

– Elizabeth Edwards

And this

Huckabee squashed charges against his son for stoning, hanging dog.
