Obama and Huckabee Own Iowa

Democratic candidate Barack Obama finished ahead of John Edwards and Hillary Clinton with 38%. Edwards and Clinton were nearly even at 30% and 29%. The rest of the Democrats garnered little support.

Among Republicans, Mike Huckabee finished ahead of the rest with 34% support. Mitt Romney came in second with a quarter of the votes. Fred Thompson was third with 13%, followed by John McCain (13%) and Ron Paul (10%). Rudy Giuliani only received 4% of the vote.

Good News (a stretch, I know): Obama and Huckabee both happen to have the lowest scores on the Israel Factor for their respective parties. This measure, which is hosted on Haaretz, rates the candidates on their subservience to Israel.

Victory for the least servile!

An Israeli newspaper has an article saying which canidates are better for Israel? How shocking! Surely no other country does this and surely no other ethnicity discusses such things, making this article even more glaring as Israel stands alone.

Huckabee is for transfer. He says so himself on Blitzer's show. No doubt he is one of the most hawkish on this issue. see for yourself:
