The Iowa caucuses just happened. Obama won. I am a little disappointed, at the same time very happy that its not Clinton who won, and also happy that Edwards' did not lose with more of a gap.
Now we have to see what happens next. Already (in the last couple of days) a couple of friends who were committed or leaning towards Edwards were vacillating - Obama was looking attractive, he looked viable, and the notion of voting for a black man was very appealing in an idealistic way. Now the Iowa results have reinforced that. A black man winning a white state? Amazing.
But the Edwards campaign continues to be enthused (just spoke to the Nashua office). So am I - after listening to his speech after the caucus results were out. Absolutely fantastic speech - focused on the underprivileged. Which is why I liked him in the first place.
On to New Hampshire!
