PLEASE people make sure you are eligible to vote in your state’s primary. It’s not “little Iowa” that’s going to determine our nominees — it’s the little (turnout) Primaries!!!!!!!

I do not like this Huckabee man. The smarmy way he gets in his digs about Romney’s religion reminds me of another slick talking duo coming out of Arkansas in the last century. And another southern Christian who said he’d never lie to us.

I know political history, nearly every detail of every election for 60 years. Calm down. Iowa has NEVER been important. It is only a way for minor candidates to get some attention. It has never reflected the party or election outcome.

” covenant that has caused Jews until suffering over the centuries,” - shouldn’t that read ‘untold’? Just being a gadfly, Ma’am! LOL

As for me I will support Fred Thompson. I don’t care what goes on in Iowa or New Hampshire, or even in the next primaries. When Florida swings into action I expect Fred to still be a very viable candidate. And I will vote for him!

After that I’ll go with Mitt.

I’m not concerned that Iowa is going to determine the fate of the world. The media are obsessing about it right now because… well, because otherwise there isn’t much going on. It’s the holiday season and they have to fill column inches to make space for the ads.

Besides, if Iowa wasn’t first, which state would be? California? That would really end the campaign before it began. Ditto any high-population state. The candidates would completely ignore flyover country and concentrate on the big enchilada. I think it’s _great_ that two small states have managed to hang on to the opening slots in primary season — it gives the Rest Of Us a little voice which otherwise would be drowned out by the big-state big-money big-media megaphones.

Atleast as far as Huck is concerned, it looks as if it is not just Iowa who is embracing him but every state that is polled…by whatever pollster.

For me, the scariest thing about Huckabee is his attitude about our arrogant foreign policy. Quite frankly, Bush has been quite mild in his attitude toward our allies. You should hear me when I get riled at the two-faced utopian European snobs. Do read Soeren Kern’s article on anti-Americanism at American Thinker.
