As a Republican, I am saddened by the results from Iowa. As an American, I am happy. I feel bad for Gephardt though. I feel bad for labor. Can the old blue collar unions pull any support? The white collar unions couldn't get people to the polls for Dean either.

I remember a conversation I had in a coffee shop in Gallup, NM. The men, all Democrats, said they liked Kerry.

I am also reminded of George H.W. Bush's great contribution to American politics: He came up with the expression "The Big Mo" to describe momentum coming out of a win. I have been hearing it quite a bit tonight.

Dole is praising Lieberman and Gephardt, calling the "two Johns" the big winners.
