Iowa Caucuses

The results from the Iowa Caucuses are coming in.

On the GOP side, Mike Huckabee has come in first at 34%, Romney is second with about 26% and McCain/Thompson are tied for 3rd at around 13%

On the Democratic side it's a close race with Obama at 38% and Clinton/Edwards tied for 2/3 at around 30%, though it looks like Edwards will edge Clinton. The networks have called the race for Obama but the outcome is expected to be very close.

This outcome is going to provide a lot of talk about a shakeup in both races, though it is worth considering that the winners of the Iowa caucuses often do not win the nomination.

Should Obama and Huckabee win the nomination I think a lot of people will be searching for a third choice.
