ok......time to start summing up Iowa and look ahead to NH....




First everyone...I did not see a dead heat as an outcome.
I did not predict it would end up in a tie....I did not foresee that outcome at all.

But actually.....it doesn't matter in the long run.

It's just very odd.
It's an odd , interesting outcome that is unexpected.

I dont think it matters squat to Mitt.
I believe Mitt did great in Iowa, and is very much on-track to take NH and do very good in SC too.

But there are a few things that are now going to happen because of Iowa.
PHONE CALLS.......thats what is going on now.
Lots and lots of phone calls between the people left in the race and the people who now are looking for the best way out of this race.

Right now there is a lot of dealing going on.

Cabinet positions are being handed out like we are dealing Blackjack.

Im told that already Perry is pulling out of the race.
The phone calls to him all day today are going to keep him very busy cutting a deal.

It will be very interesting to see what person he ends up standing next to and giving his support to in the next few days?

The chick in the race is toast.
She lacks money and support.....and I expect her to drop out very soon too.
She also will be getting the phone calls....

Ron Paul did way better than many wanted.
Ron Paul has the money and supporters he needs to keep in this race all the way to the end.

Now as for Rick?

Rick had a good night.
Rick stood toe to toe against Mitt and did great.
If there is a winner as such in iowa, then it's clearly Rick.

But does that matter?
Not that much....
Rick showed the Party that a lot of people will vote for him.
Rick clearly now is the "Anyone but Mitt" guy.

But Rick is in danger now of running out of money and really has no org in NH to push his name in the media.

Right now, Rick has to get out there all on his own, hit all the talk shows, and keep his name in the news for the next week all due to the fre media hype that comes with winning Iowa.

Will that be enough to help him take NH?
Well, thats hard to say, its a long shot right now.
Its very hard to overcome Mitt's money with anything but lots of money.

NEWT?
Got his *** kicked.

Newt is the loser in Iowa.
Newt is now going to be shown the door and told to go home and watch the election from there.

It will be over the next 2 weeks when we will finally see on TV that Newt is standing next to someone.....and after that Newt will fade away.....sorta.
