As a result of the Iowa caucus the front runners of the 2008 election are Mike Huckabee and Barck Obama. Both of who took a good majority of the votes in Iowa on Thursday. Huckabee was able to win thirty-four percent of the votes while Romney earned twenty-five. Barack Obama had thirty eight while John Edwards had only thirty. Now the battle for New Hampshire begins where Romney and McCain seem to be the top candidates in that region of the country. While Huckabee seems to be on a role New Hampshire will be entirely different for the man and for Hilary Clinton as well. The hopes of earning the votes of woman has not added up the way she intended. She is a favorite for women over the age of sixty but women ages eighteen to fifty nine tend to lean towards Obama. Edwards, Richardson, and Thompson all are trying to find ways to stay alive in the campaigns.
The fact the Mike Huckabee is now of the favorites of the election this fall is really exciting for me. I am not really one to follow elections but i am putting more of an effort into it this year since I will actually be able to vote. Huckabee is one of my favorite candidates, party because i like cheering for the underdog and also because he is a Christian. I have strong faith in God and I feel that many politicians have lost sight of that but Huckabee is going strong and that is one thing that he has going for him. Way to go. Of course opinions change and so do the standings of the candidates but this is the first big step into seeing the possibilities for our next president.
