Big win for Obama tonight too. Terrific! I think Iowa's results tonight show a big vote for change. Mind you, the Huck victory will be framed by some as nothing more than a sign of religious conservative devotion, but couldn't it be the case that both Huck and Obama won the votes of people who want a significant departure from the political status quo -- especially the young (or young-ish)? Here's Rich Lowry from the Corner:
The much-maligned youth vote appears to have showed up for Obama. In the entrance poll I'm looking at,22% of voters were 17-29, and he got 57% of them. Interestingly, Huckabee also did well among (relatively) young voters, scoring higher among voters 17-29 and 30-44 than among older voters.

Obama and Huckabee win because a bunch of kids think they're going to get a change ? Excuse me while I pick myself up off the floor; I laughed so hard that I fell off my chair.
Obama is a typical redistributionist Leftist. Huckabee is a welfare-statist in GOP clothing. Neither one will be good for the financial well-being of Generation X or the Millenials. Example in point: exactly what plans do either of these mountebanks have for the entitlement programs---those oh-so-sacrosanct parts of the budget that will tax younger workers into oblivion--other than to grow them, grow them and grow them some more ??
I've heard of mass self-deception, but this is ridiculous.
Be careful what you ask for, kiddies. You're probably going to get it.
Good and hard.
Your servant,
Lord Karth
Thank god Hilary didn't win.
