On Iowa & New Hampshire
Idle thoughts regarding the first two battles of the political year:
As you know by now, Denizens, the finish in Iowa was Huckabee-Romney-ThompsonMcRINO for the Good Guys™, and Osama Obama-Duchess Hilarious-Silky Pony for the Donks, while in New Hampshire it was McRINO-Romney-Huckabee and Hilarious-Osama Obama, respectively.
I'm not terribly surprised that the Huckster did so well among Iowa Republicans and so poorly among those in NH. Iowa GOPers can identify with someone whom they perceive to have a moral backbone, while Northeasterners, R or D, will go for the liberal every time.
McRINO's campaign will not go far past South Carolina. I think that on that, you can safely bank.
What disturbs me is that Fred! is running what can be charitably described as a lethargic campaign. A 15-year-younger Fred!, running a campaign full of 15-years-younger energy, would be running away with this election - not just the primaries, but the general election, as well. I was hoping for a more energetic campaign for Fred!, and will still vote for him in the Texas primary - but I don't like his chances unless he overwhelms in the South.
So who after that? I'm with Bill Keller on this one - a vote for Romney is a vote for Satan, and he won't be getting mine.
McRINO? 
That leaves me with Huckabee, and he's gonna have to show me a helluva lot more than what he has thus far if he wants my vote.
On the flip side, I think B. Hussein Obama has peaked. How the South treats him will be key, but the Duchess gets the nomination, I think. Which bodes well for the Republicans, since for a lot of the GOP faithful, it won't matter who their nominee is if the Demoscum is Hilarious - and I think it will be.
It's about to be a good time to be a conservative again.

I tend to agree with you, although I am by no means fully comfortable with Huckabee.

I think the only way the "duchess" gets in is if the huckaclown is her opponent. They are two idiots not worth a fart in a space suit.
What an election that would be if all the people who write in mickey mouse for president are actually voting for the most intelligent and decent individual possible.

Hillary is the best opponent we can hope for in the general election. She is so polarizing that even dems hate her. Also, I am not so sure the country is ready for another Clinton administration. LSIK&T is right, time to be a good conservative, and conservative is the operative word here, in the primary election. As far as November goes, we all know what to do.
