Jan. 4, 2008 - Electric Caucus and Congrats to Governor Huckabee!
Electric Caucus and Congrats to Governor Huckabee!
Last night at my caucus location in Madison County, 900 people crowded into a room designed for 350 and the energy was palpable. I had been worried about having 10 precincts together under one roof (thank goodness there wasn't a fire) but the result was an inspiring caucus. Here in Iowa, we can go back to normalcy and stop hob-nobbing with Presidential candidates.
So what do the results mean? It has been frustrating at times watching the media try to sort it all out. Generally, they didnt' seem prepared for Mike Huckabee to come out so far ahead, but here in Iowa, we are NOT surprised. I believe Mike Huckabee's support is not a fluke, and not limited to evangelicals. I get the feeling that his support of the FAIR TAX is turning some heads, as is his gift of communication.
As for prior front-runner Mitt Romney, his distant second place finish is the result of negativity that did not sit well with Iowa voters. Governor Romney found out that Iowa votes cannot be bought.
I'll be representing my precinct as a delegate to the County Convention in March and I hope to be selected as a delegate to our state convention later this spring. I love this wonderful process and I am proud to be an American exercising my right to elect my leaders.
Congratulations to Mike Huckabee and all of the dedicated supporters who made it happen last night!
Gladly, we'll pass the torch, for the race has been long and tiring here in Iowa. Be strong and keep the momentum going!
