Edwards wins Iowa and the Obama light will fade... It will be an epic battle between Hillary and Edwards. Edwards will eventually win the Democratic Party's nomination because of the strong backing of labor and the liberal wing of the Party.

You can thank me for my wisdom and insight by buying me a drink at the National Diaconia. If I am wrong we can laugh at the bar together as well.
I see an Edwards nomination as as much of a gift to the GOP as the Dems see a Huckabee nomination a gift to them.
Burgwald is alive! Weclome back to the blogsphere my friend.
Huckabee's compassionate conservatism represents a truly Catholic sensibility better than almost anybody else in my opinion. When the smoke clears I hope its a McCain/Huckabee ticket in the general election.
Huckabee is going to be the VP unless Romney can pull off his plan which I don't think is going to work. He was planning on winning Iowa, NH, & MI. Its not looking good for him in at least the first two.
McCain has earned the right to be the Republican Party's nominee. He is the old war horse.
"McCain has earned the right to be the Republican Party's nominee. He is the old war horse."
Dole was considered the same type of candidate: one who had done his time and paid his due and therefore had earned the nomination. It was a bad choice then.
I think McCain is similar in that way.
On another note, though McCain could gather many independent votes, he will lose many conservatives in campaigning for him, which might be costly in getting out the vote. There are many conservatives, I would suggest most in the active political scene, who are disgusted or at best very disappointed with McCain for many things he has done which have gone against the conservative vision and/or hurt the Republican Party. All that said, most would still vote for him in the general election, just not very enthusiastically, which tends to mean many stay home or just don't help campaign and that also means fewer votes than a GOP candidate might get from conservatives.
Time will tell.
