…And the votes are in

The Iowa Caucuses were held yesterday and scoring a win in this Primary, means forward momentum going into the other primaries.

The Democrat Winner: Barack Obama, Receiving 38% of the vote.

The Republican Winner: Mike Huckabee, Receiving 34% of the vote.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The rest of the Democratic results:

2) John Edwards- 30%

3) Hillary Clinton- 30%

4) Bill Richardson- 2%

5) Joe Biden- 1%

The rest of the Republican results:

2) Mitt Romney- 25%

3) Fred Thompson- 13%

4) John McCain- 13%

5) Ron Paul- 10%

6) Rudy Guiliani- 3%

Up next is the New Hampshire Primaries:

Obama and Hillary are neck and neck, as Romney and McCain are in a deadheat.

I expect Obama to take his momentum on and win New Hampshire as well, as Huckabee limps somewhat into New Hampshire, where he has barely campaigned and has little money.

Side Note: Biden and Dodd from the Democrat side dropped out of the Presidential running.

Which Romney is running for President?

Now I know positions can change, especially from a Governor run to Presidential run, however this is a major issue to be waffling on.  Personally I am Pro-Life, so I hope he affirms his position (Like I hope all the candidates do to Pro-Life) but it is troubling that someone can indeed change so drastically.

You Decide!
