Obama not only has pulled out in front in Iowa, as we learned recently, but has made up Clinton's lead in New Hampshire and South Carolina. Huckabee, meanwhile, has come from nearly last to nearly first in a few short months without spending much money. So, both Obama and Hucabee take the lead, essentially, and I think that rocks. Just a couple of weeks ago it seemed like Hilary was the inevitable nominee, but now Obama and Huckabee take the lead respectively and the race is totally different. Even the mainstream media, loathe to change their tune, have done so, reporting promptly that the two take the lead. Clinton dropped 5 points in a New Hampshire poll this last month, and so now its' not so inevitable at all. I think it's great she's done so well, but her carefully parsed positions trouble me. Personally, I'm for Obama, and disagree with all of Huckabee's positions, but seeing them both take the lead by being genuine characters and coming from a place of honesty is great.
