And we are about to get our first glimpse into our choices for president. Iowa will vote soon and all eyes will be on her. Peggy Noonan has a good analysis here of the implications of Iowa’s choices. I will not make any predictions but I do have some hopes.
On the democratic side I would like to see Hillary lose; period. On the republican side I would be fine with Mitt, John McCain, and Rudy winning in Iowa. I do not like Huckabee.
It is the start of a roller coaster year and it will take many turns. It will be very telling to see where the American people want our country to go. I hope it is in the right direction…
True knowledge of American history is necessary to insure the future of the America we love… This is an important time in our country's history. We must be wise and measured as we choose our leaders going forward.

Rich, I couldn't agree more. I'm hopeful that Huckabee is losing his appeal. I read Peggy Noonan's analysis and she seems to have the candidates pegged right. I don't like to wish my life away but I wish we were closing in on Nov. 2008 rather than the primaries. The coverage is never ending. APH
Very interesting article. I would like to know what demerits she has against Huckabee to throw him into the "not reasonable" category. I am not necessarily a Huckabee fan myself, I don't think he would win in a general election, and I have my negative suspicions about him, but still would like to hear hers. She is right on with her analysis of Hilary. I am telling you that the mass amounts of ads I saw while in IL (for the Iowa caucus) made me crazy -- we have so much to look forward to!?!?!?
Sheri: I think it is a gut feeling with Huckabee along with his spending habits that disturb me most. He is very Clintonesque in his approach and a bit to smooth. I say much to look forward to because we must protect the future of this country by fighting against all this "socialism" being introduced by the candidates. Especially the democrats. I would add Huckabee in that category. Socialism will destroy this country if we don't stop it here with a fiscal conservative. Right now only Mitt and Thompson are even hinting at sensible reforms. There will be a lot of indigestion in 2008. Is that a better analysis?
Yes, good analysis. I watched Huckabee on Meet the Press last night. His discussion of the immigration issue was suspect and I found myself not impressed with that, nor his explanation of his spending in AR. He finished strong with his discussion of the abortion issue, of course. I would like someone to explain to me why Tim Russert challenges anti-abortion candidates on their position, citing the "fact" that millions of people disagree that life begins at conception, HOWEVER, Russert never challenges pro-abortion candidates similarly -- millions of people disagree with their assumption of the fact that life does NOT begin at conception. It burns me up!
