Wow! Say I.

It is still a hugely Clinton Democratic party and with the large Dem turnout, 70 percent said "no" to her, and "no" to a return of the Clinton crowd. To me, that's a huge vote for change, and not just a return to the 1990s.

And the Huckabee vote is nearly as powerful: he is the most clear-cut anti-Bush Republican--at least among the credible (sorry, but Ron Paul is just too incredible to me--as in, incredibly implausible).

Then again, I would have--and did--say similar things about Huckabee not too long ago, but IMO, his result just says to me how many GOPers want to distance themselves from Bush as quickly as possible.

Yes, yes, I know Iowa doesn't exactly pick 'em, but what a nice sense of hopeful change.

I wish Obama well in NH.
