Far and away the best news of the night, in my opinion. Check out the total vote percentages - if Iowa is a slice of America, then America just utterly rejected the Republican party:
Percentage of total vote
24.5% Obama
20.5% Edwards
19.8% Clinton
11.4% Huckabee (R)

There really is no reason to vote Republican anymore, is there?
But you know what? I think we can do even better. Let’s put Rudy! in at least tenth place in overall vote count.
(Exile-thought you’d enjoy that last thought.)

Rudy’s done, it seems. That means we can probably avoid World War IV or whatever number his nutty advisers think we’re up to now (the fact that it’s not III tells you a lot about how these nuts think).
And even those powerful numbers probably underestimate the voters in Iowa. The Republicans had a very “election-like” caucus, and generally were out in a much shorter time than Democrats, who had the two stage caucus. Attending a Democratic caucus involved more of a time committment than attending the GOP event.
As my dear departed Slovakian mother would say: “Don’t count your pigs before they’re skinned”. Ever since George H W Bush had an 89% approval rating a year out from the 92 election and almost everyone thought he was a lock it has become obvious that almost anything can happen.
