Oh, it was fun! Skunky waited to start flicking from CNN to the game and back until they'd called the race for Obama.

yay for obama (I would be pleased with any of the 3, but more pleased with ob).

Thank you for hosting a great evening. The food and the company were great. The armchair commentary, by all, regarding any and all topics was quite fun.
Rapunzel puts on a great caucus party. I never knew watching politics could be so much fun! Goofer's commentary was the icing on top!
I am not too concerned about Huckabee's win- yet. Out of all the candidate's last night, he was the most un-Presidential in appearance and demeanor. Having Walker Texas Ranger and Mrs. Texas Ranger standing behind him totally made the "Hick-abee" bells go off. He may play well to the religious right in Iowa, but I don't think he will be able to do that everywhere, especially New Hampshire, where they will probably laugh him out of the state.
Edward's speech was very disappointing- if he pulled out one more sob story, I thought I would be sick.
Hillary's speech was the surprise of the night for me. It was classy, uniting, and positive for the Democrats as a whole. I am not saying I like her, but somebody rehearsed her well for last night, because she came off better than I have ever seen her.
Missed Obama's speech- we were driving home. Who saw it?

It was a very inspirational speech. You need to watch it...

Damn, hate that I missed this. It is interesting that both candidates would be a death blow to their party, unless the other wins the nomination. Obama! may, but thank the Lord Jesus Christ Almighty Hallelujah that Huckabee doesn?t stand a chance. Fun to watch if nothing else. Only in America can a state firmly latched onto the government teat, with a historical 6% turnout, a whopping 7 electoral votes, and the silliest and least democratic method of choosing a candidate become a kingmaker.
Rapunzel - thanks for the party last night. It was FUNN!!! The best way to watch politics. . . .with good food and good people!!
Rapunzel and Skunky
