In other news:

Chris Dodd and Joe Biden have both announced that they will drop out of the 2008 presidental race. I'm sure after New Hampshire many more will follow.

Biggest suprise:

There were a few. I was really suprised, yet pleased, to see the amount Huckabee won by. I was expecting much closer. Same way with Obama. I was very pleased to see Edwards squeak by Clinton. Fred Thompson also had a good showing. Rumors were going around that if Thompson finished lower than third, he would drop out. Of course, he never said if they were true or not, but seems like he's going to fight on for the time being.

Biggest Dissapointment:

I was really hoping Bill Richardson would have a good showing. Even though I am siding with the republicans, I do like him and was hoping he would do well. I beleive he will drop out after NH or SC.

Well....that's it for Iowa....on to New Hampshire, and see what happens from there
