Iowa is small in the big picture but I shall savor the double victory of Obama winning and Paul losing big in Iowa regardless. Next stop New Hampshire!

Getting approximately as many votes as the previous front runners is losing? Previous accurate polls showed him having only token levels of support. I'm no Paul supporter but I find it stunning that he won that much support and it's reminiscent of shocking moves in European countries like France and Switzerland towards extreme candidates no one thought could win significantly.
 
I feel bad for Ron Paul, but he needs to upgrade his message delivery if he wants to gain any ground.

I am tipping my cap to Obama. I would have thought that Hillary's machine would grind the competition into corn meal. Perhaps the machine awaits New York and CA, bigger and better states.

Are you kidding? The Ron Paulians will trumpet this as a victory as he polled right next to Giuliani!

As for the Dems...

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead.

(Yes, I am exaggerating)

You feel bad for him?

I don't feel bad for a man who all but advocates isolationism and seemingly wants to return to the Articles of Confederation.

I don't feel bad for a man who campaigns by telling people he'll abolish the IRS and income taxes, without realizing that that would be a job for Congress.

I don't feel bad for him.

He's this election's Ross Perot. For now.
 
Edited post, will edit it one more time when all districts have reported.

Good news for Obama, let the excuses begin from the Paul supporters.

Isolationism? No. Non-intervention.

After winning every online and text message poll, how could this happen? I shouldn't gloat but after thousands of painful Oliver-Jerome tag team post it's hard not to savor a stunning double victory.

10% is not bad. Bill Clinton got 4% in '92.
 
I'm teetotal, but I'm considering having a beer tonight to celebrate these two wonderful happenings.
