Here's the electoral question ...

Huckabee won Iowa, while McCain finished third in that state. McCain won New Hampshire while Huckabee finished third. Romney came in second place in both. Which is the better position? I know it's campaign minutia, but I think Romney has the edge there - consistently high via his actual percentages. And that "third" place finish for each of the others is misleading - around 11% when you're in third. Romney's two second place finishes gave him above 30% in each case with the highest/winning number achieved yet being 39%.

I think Romney wins every state through super Tuesday here on out, and on that date (Feb 5th) he gets the majority of the 21 states and that's that. I was surprised Hillary won, but it was still close, Obama's 36 to her 39%.

At any rate, why the hell are we allowing Iran to run those bumper paddle boats up against our destroyers with no consequence? Time was when that would have gotten them blown out of the water while the rouge regime disavowed them as rouge soldiers so as to not raise our ire.... sheeeeeesh.
