Obama Sweeps Iowa by Trent Burrell

   Jaws dropped, and eyes rolled across the political sphere last night, with Barack Obama sweeping the Democratic Iowa Caucus to an overwhelming victory. Edwards squeezed out Clinton by a hair, pushing her to third. While on the republican side, Huckabee left his opponents in the dust as well.

 

   Both candidates surprised most of the political watchers with their huge voter’s support. It has been estimated that more than sixty percent of eligible voters turned out to vote. That figure indicates a 10% higher voter turnout than in 2004, and enormous when compared to the norm.

  

   Pollsters have reported that on the Democratic side, Barack received the biggest support by woman voters, and the young. Hillary had been expected to rake in the female vote, of which, she seemed to be counting upon for a win. Huckabee can thank the huge Christian, Evangelistic support for his landslide victory.

 

   It has been postulated that, both Obama and Huckabee’s surprising lead in Iowa, came from a cross-section of race, age and gender who are simply tired of the Washington insiders, who have consistently, failed the American people. There seems to be a loud cry for real change at the Capital, and last night…one would need to be hearing deficient, to have not heard it.
