But this has given me new hope in the American people. Evidently the desire is pretty widespread among our citizens to dispense with Bush's politics of cynicism and the raping of America to enrich his backers in the oil industry and large corporate America.

This really has to be taken as a message to both parties, but especially the Republicans, that people are sick of the ideological bull shit and are looking for more pragmatism. I think the new leadership for the Republican Party will be folks like Crist from Florida and Arnold from California. People who believe that government can be part of the solution to problems, but still believe in small government. Maybe call them 'progressive Republicans'.

I don't think Hucky carries that banner; none of the Rep presidential crop do. But Hucky was the only alternative to the Neo ideological candidates that worked Iowa. McCain is equally despised by the Neo Republican establishment and will probably take NH.

I think this is the beginning of the end for the Neo idealists. If so, good riddance.

"Obama and Huckabee are my two favorite candidates out of the whole lot."

Mine too. I really like that both of them had humble beginnings.
