When Huckabee made his victory speech tonight, who stood behind him? Chuck Norris of course. Norris has been a part of the campaign for some time now. It is some contrast compared to Hillary Clinton’s speech; Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright stood behind her.
The speculation about the effects of the Iowa results is mind-numbing. How will this influence the vote in New Hampshire? Is it Huckabee against the rest now? Does this change Romney’s strategy? It is driving me insane. Except Meet the Press, I cannot watch politics on TV without getting upset.
Another thing that annoys me is that experts in media are so certain about cause and effect. For example, they say that caucus goers who want change predominantly vote for Obama. It seem equally plausible that people who like Obama report this message because it was available, because it has been reiterated a million times by the Obama campaign. In reality they might have chosen Obama long before.
About the only thing we know is that Chuck backs Huckabee.
