Iowa's results:

"Barack Obama was declared the winner of the Iowa Democratic presidential caucuses Thursday night, less than two hours after voting began.

With 96 percent of the precincts reporting Thursday evening, Obama had 38 percent of the vote while John Edwards had 30 percent and Hillary Clinton had 29 percent. Bill Richardson had 2 percent."

I'm somewhat ignorant on this process.

Um, does that mean Obama is offically the main candidate for the presidency race?

Or is Clinton still in with a chance?

And does cacusus in every state do this?

This is just the first step. Each of the 50 states either holds a caucus (party meeting) or a primary (election) to decide which candidates their state will support at the national conventions of their parties. The delegates that are selected from Iowa's caucus will cast their votes at the national convention later this year.

Next caucus will be in Wyoming on Saturday. My state, South Carolina, will have a primary election on Jan. 19. Each state has a different date for its caucus or primary. Some states use the caucus system, some states use the primary system.

The Iowa selections are not the final ones. Iowa is just the earliest state caucus. Yes, Clinton still has a chance to be selected the Democrat candidate at the national convention.

Why not Sen. Clinton run for President 2008? Worth to count on her leadership and past experiences! I am voting for Sen. Clinton for President 2008!
I wouldn't vote for her because she was a mother. When Bill was president
and their daughter got ill at school, they asked to call her mother and Chelsea
said, "Umm you better call my dad, my moms kinda busy." WHAT? Just who
was really president?

I wouldn't vote for her because she was a former first lady. She should
have left that no good rotten adulterer! Instead she hung onto him
to ride in on his presidential coat tails.

I'm sick and tired of lawyers as politicians. We got too many of em
anyway, why gunk up politics with em?

A woman? Who starts to slip in the poles and goes "boohoo" you
should vote for me because I'm so emotional about this country.
Really! What would we have done if a man had cried like this!
Laughed him right out of office thats what. The woman would
have her finger on THE BUTTON for crying out loud. Do you
really want a PMSing woman in charge of nukes? If a woman
runs, let her have total control of her emotions! I don't want
some sobbing cry baby in charge of my country!

Soros nation: Hedge fund operator controlling Democratic politicians, media
By Cliff Kincaid

Our media have treated us to endless replays of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama attacking one another’s corporate ties.

Obama said Clinton had been a corporate lawyer on the board of Wal-Mart, while Clinton countered that Obama did favors for a slumlord who contributed to his political campaign. But there’s more to this than charges and counter-charges and a desperate race for the White House. It is apparent that both of these candidates are “corporate Democrats” with substantial ties to the business community. But haven’t we been told by the media that the Republicans are the party of Big Business?

In fact, a review of the public record for the 2008 election cycle shows that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in the top five of all politicians, on the presidential and congressional levels, in receiving financial contributions from the controversial, mysterious and secretive hedge fund industry. Overall, data from the Center for Responsive Politics shows that hedge funds prefer Democrats over Republicans by a margin of 79-21 percent. Democrats have received $4.2 million and Republicans $1.1 million from hedge funds. What the hedge fund operators want from the politicians is what all of us desire¯less taxation, regulation and oversight. But they have the money to get their way, even though they can hold the fate of entire nations and their economies in their hands.

It is significant that one of the richest men in the world, billionaire George Soros, is a hedge fund operator and convicted inside trader who pours millions of dollars into the Democratic Party, its front groups and candidates. He has put money into the coffers of both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. He will be able to pull the strings if either is elected president.

The other Democratic candidate, John Edwards, has not received money from Soros but actually worked for a hedge fund before he started going around the country blasting special interests. He is number five on the list of receiving hedge fund money.

One hedge fund pouring large amounts of money into Hillary Clinton’s political activities hired her daughter Chelsea. It is no surprise that Senator Clinton has balked at supporting a congressional proposal to tax hedge funds....

I vote Barack Obama. I don't like Hilary Clinton, she stays with Bill for 1 and just lots of other things to many to list and I don't have time to list. I think Obama should get it. I think he is most honest of the Dems running.

I can make a few arguments against Obama but the one that glares at me is the 'Missing in Action' no votes. He has consistently avoided tough votes so that people can't use them against him. This is playing politics and not doing your duty. This is why he has bad history....he was conveniently absent on tough votes. Wimp. You are all being snuckered. The other surviving candidates have had the COURAGE to upset people when need to vote. Obama has no courage. He wanted a 'new game of no negativity politics' BECAUSE HE IS HIDING THIS 'MISSING IN ACTION' STORY.

Obama is VERY NAIVE and smoozing all of ya. This campaign is about him now....the gloves are off. He has made his own bed.......tricked....it is part of politics....Obama tried to lay the format of 'no negativity'....now that it has gone negative it will look like he is going back on his promise of 'no negatives' once he starts being negative. This is precisely why he is a dummy in politics. Naive. His promise to chat up and smooze with Iran-Cuba-Syria-Korea etc......they will make a fool of him and make us look foolish and weak. You have to lay the groundwork. Dreaming is for wimps. Obama is a wimp. Open your eyes people. Dreams are nice but they don't pay the bills.

If you don't want Hillary Clinton, then do not vote for her. (sitting there and complain is pathetic.)


PowerOn- calling us idiots for voting for Hillary Clinton is an insult so watch your mouth.

I support Hillary Clinton, on many of her issues, increase criminal sentencing those who committed hate crimes, moving our troops out of Iraq, health care for all children who doesn't have any health care, improving schools and most of all her helping children has always been the center of Hillary's goals, so whenever it comes to children, that person has my vote.

Many young people voting Obama. Mostly cuz of war. War is hell....and yet it is a fact of life. Almost 4000 killed Iraq. Vietnam was 55,000. WW 2 -millions in one battle.
We were out of wars so long that young people forget this. Again Obama naive and wimp vote and that is all he is running on. Many young people do not know the history of middle east terrorism against us going back 30 years. How long do you want to wait to deal with it. 9/11....Cole ....Kenya embassy....Sudan embassy......Marine barracks 250 marines dead....saudi arabia and lebanon barracks attacks. Many highjackings. It ain't going to go away cuz Obama want to play chummy chummy with religious fanatics. They do not deal with anyone in good conscience. They are full of hate and only desire is to annihilate all of us. Modern age and global economy made them very sophisticated and rich. It was time.
Open your eyes.....war is hell and a part of life. 4000 is peanuts in the grand scheme of things. And yes we have accomplished things in middle east....other countries will be more assertive cuz the maniacs weakened. We have not been attacked in years now. People see al qaeda as too viscous now.
Obama is nothing but a preacher who belongs in a church. Aisle rollers. His denomination 'speaks in tongues'. Give me a break.

WEll, Cheri....appreciate if you don't try and put words in my mouth. I don't see the word idiot anywhere in my post. You brought that word up...but if you want to use it go ahead. It is my opinion. Vote what ya want. I have a right to say it as I see it. Don't try to take that away with some guilt trip.
Just dissapointed in the intelligence of this country.
