Big Night for Obama and Huckabee

I am far from a political analyst and in all honesty… politics is really getting annoying. At the same time I enjoy watching the whole process unfold (most of the time.) Also, I may overstate this but any time I blog about politics it is my opinion alone and does not represent Exodus.
I have been watching all of the end of night speeches and Obama’s is coming off better than the others. I can see why he pulled away as the leader of the Democrat caucus in Iowa. I also have to admit, his methods toward unity, hope and preservation I don’t think will work… but the messaging of those themes do. He delivers those themes very well and he speaks in a manner that Gen X and younger can understand and find relevant. Obama just finished and he hits the ball out of the park. I can respect him in the sense that he definitely believes what he is saying and I can trust that he isn’t going to lie. He is wrong on so many things 
but I can respect authenticity and he seems to be authentic.
That’s why he makes me the most nervous out of all the Democrat candidates.
Romney coming in so far behind and Thompson/McCain tying for third … makes me happy. Huckabee is my guy but he has really made me nervous and I am not settled yet because of his statements over the past few weeks. Huckabee is going to have to step it up because while he won tonight Obama just overshadowed everyone (IMHO.) He is reaching out across all lines with great messaging and presence. Huckabee needs to do the same. I want to see him as leading *all* the people as “one” nation that Obama hits on all the time.
One side note: I probably am enjoying Clinton’s third place a little too much. She is so obviously not going to be the one who brings “change” to Washington. Just my opinion.
Final Note: I am also very proud that we have come to the day when a man is being “judged by the content of his character not by the color of his skin.” - Martin Luther King Jr. I don’t want Barack to win the Presidential election but tonight’s victory for him is historic. Don’t let that go unnoticed.

It’s DemocratIC party, Randy.
Are you trying to correct my grammur or are you saying that Democrats are “IC”?
Correcting your grammAr (and now spelling).
Saying the “Democrat Party” or the “Democrat Caucus” is considered a slur.
It was invented by Rush Limbaugh for who knows what reason to annoy people.
I make a lot of mistakes but I no gramer and spelng betterz now.
But thank you for playing.
A slur? I don’t believe that for a second. Sounds like a made up political correctness opportunity to find something else to get offended about.
… Now left wing moonbat or right wingnut or fundie christo-fascists … those I might consider slurs but the difference between democrat and democratic caucus doesn’t seem to be a big deal in the context of my post. If Rush really made that up, it’s a pretty lame slur … as far as slurs go.
