On the Democartic side with the Iowa primary over and Obama continuing to rise it seems his message is soundly defeating Clinton with Edwards positioning himself to try to become the vice president. Obama's message of change is bringing in many new young voters. He is going to be a very formidable candidate if he wins the nomination. On the Republican side Huckabee wins Iowa but I do not think he is a viable national candidate. Even though he also brings a change message he appeals to a very narrow group. He would be a much better vice presidential candidate. McCain has userped much of Rudy Gulliani's hawkish support due to his success in Iraq and is the closest to a frontrunner the Republicans have. If he wins New Hampshire and Michigan he would be in a very good position to get the nomination. The Dems turned out almost twice as many people in Iowa as the Republicans which bodes poorely for the Republicans but maybe that is just Obama's likeability.
