Primaries

Since the primaries in Iowas recently, America has begun to get more and more involved in this years political happenings. The Democratic candidate, Barak Obama, won in Iowa, and the republican Mike Huckabee won as well. These victories were extremely unexpected, seing as both men were younger, less experienced, and Huckabee didn't put much effort into trying to win Iowa.
Even though Obama has been popular, it seemed more likely that Hilary Clinton would be victorious because she has more money, more exerience, and an established name. She was still abled to snag third place, behind Obama and John Edwards. The voting tally was Obama with 37.6%, Edwards with 29.8%, and Clinton with 29.5%. Obama received extra support from young voters and independents
It will be interesting to see how things change along the rest of the years at the upcoming primaries in New Hampshire and South Carolina. Hopefully Edwards will be able to keep a substantial amount of delegates and stay in the race, but it looks like it will be Obama and Clinton facing off for democratic nominee.
