So glad he won in IOWA. I know Presidential politics are a bore, but I'm glad the media and Republican "Democratic Appointee," Hillary Clinton, lost.

Of course now there's the Chris Rock view of minority candidates running for President, if they win, they become a prime assassination target.

On NPR this morning, it seems that Hillary has switched her tune from 'I'm the one with all the experience in Washington', to 'I'm the voice of change' after this loss.

And even though Ron Paul got triple the percentage of Wudy, the media continues to ignore him, and treat Giuliani as one of the major candidates.

Anyone surprised?

Nope. Remember, the results are already decided. All this is just a show to keep the gullible entertained, and give the people motivated to work for change and outlet to expend their energy...

So Fargie

Are you willing to put your money where your keyboard is? I wonder if they're running the University of Iowa Futures yet. Besides- who do you think it is- I might put a small wager on the outcome myself.

Nope. It's not because of the media bias (exactly.) As of September 07, Huckabee has raised a paltry 3.5 million; that's how much Giuliani will spend on sales tax for his sign printing. Giuliani's raised over $47 million, McCain $32 million, Thompson almost $13 million, and the good Dr Paul with $8 million. The media follows the money.

Huckabee did so well in Iowa, because of the demographics of Iowa; he'll be shut out in New Hampshire where it seems McCain and Romney will be neck and neck (though I suspect Giuliani will have a strong showing as well.) Like it or not, money buys media exposure, media exposure buys votes.
