Let's talk Iowa shall we?

OK - the results are in (Obama, Huckabee) and the spin is on.

The Los Angeles Times says that the turnout give the edge in energy. The New York Times sees disappoint for Ms. Clinton and Huckabee rolling (if not rocking). A more sober Rolling Stone picks through the numbers to find that Osama Obama did better with women than Hillary did, that young folks turned out (possibly because they thought there might be free beer), God picked Huckabee and Rudy was left kissing Ron Paul's arse. Faux News says that "we was right all along". Auntie tells us that little if anything was decided in the wintry Midwest.

We've probably seen the last of Chris Dodd and Joe Biden on the Democratic side. It seems that no Republican will fold before New Hampshire; even Fred Thompson will stick around but I doubt he will try very hard.

On to New Hampshire!
