Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee swept to a relatively easy win in the Iowa Caucuses, swamping favorite Mitt Romney by about 10 percentage points. This is an upset to most GOP and political observers and insideres. Fred Thompson will finish third and John McCain fourth. Huckabee still faces long odds to win in New Hampshire and the nomination. Romney may be on the ropes. A loss next Tuesday in the Granite State and his campaign may be fatally wounded.
Democratic results are inconclusive at this point as the top three are in a virtual tie with less than one-third of the votes in.
Next up is the Wyoming caucuses (Republicans only) on Saturday 5 January; the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday 8 January; the Michigan primary on Tuesday 15 January; the South Carolina primary (Republicans only) and Nevada caucuses on Saturday 19 January; the South Carolina primary (Democrats only) on Saturday 26 January; and the Florida primaries on Tuesday 29 January.
