In Iowa last night, big win for Obama and the Democrats with Edwards and especially Hillary being gracious and excited about the turnout. I heard in the comments on pbs last night that Hillary expected to win by getting out 50000; 70000 got out for her and she was still swamped. Apparently a whole lot of young people showed up and voted for Obama, along with a whole lot of not so young people - guess I would fall into that category, several times over. The big turnout, 212000 which is up from 125000 in 2004, shows lots of enthusiasm for change. Everybody surprised by the numbers. Momentum definitely on the Obama side. New Hampshire just around the corner. (The tpm scoreboard with percentages arrayed for the candidates.)
Also via tpm, McCain said that it would be fine with him if we are in Iraq for 100 years? Pax Americana.
