Obama’s Iowa victory goes to prove that Hillary just won’t be able to win the race so easily.
The caucus-goers in Iowa made their way to the ballot forewarning
key pitfalls for Hillary Clinton & Mitt Romney and bouquets for their respective rivals, Barack Obama & Mike Huckabee. Obama’s triumph came after the costliest & most intensely fought campaign ever in the history of the Iowa. The year-long rivalry shaped a huge turnout that reflected the vigour and eagerness among Democratic voters strong-minded to recapture the White House in November. Whereas, in the GOP race, Huckabee, an Evangelical Neocon, used his folksy style to stitch together a loose alliance of Evangelical Christians & conservatives to beat Mitt Romney. Reacting on his victory, noted political analyst Vaughn Ververs told B&E, “Huckabee took advantage of a Republican party dispirited by an unpopular President & unexcited by their choices for a presidential standard-bearer.” Obama sailed to victory accompanied by a spectacular attendance of first-time caucus-goers, bagging roughly 38% of the vote in a race that drew 240,000 Democrats – about twice the GOP turnout.
Obama’s triumph was the newest chapter in his incredible political saga. In the quest of becoming the first African American president, he found receptive listeners countrywide, & proved his grit in this principally white and pastoral state. Reacting on the result, political analyst David Yepsen said to B&E, “I deem Clinton had failed to get a convincing message out to the voters, despite a huge operational presence in the state. From here, the anti-Hillary Clinton vote will now coalesce around Barack Obama. That’s part of the story tonight.” The result in Iowa sets the arena for what will be a high-stakes fight in New Hampshire, with Clinton now fighting for endurance in a state where her once-robust lead has mostly vaporised in the past two months and Obama has been growing. The largest single day of caucuses voting will come on Feb 5, when several of US’ largest states will hold primaries.
The result has also set alarm bells ringing for Republicans. Blake Rutherford, political analyst and Director of Public Affairs in Iowa told B&E: “In my view, Iowa told us a lot about the Democratic Party. Primarily, attendance was huge, which exemplifies that in a state that Bush carried in 2004, sway voters are breaking with Democrats on every matter, and in overpowering numbers. If that’s symptomatic of what’s happening in other parts, 2008 could be a bad year for Republicans across the board.”
With enormous campaign finance and great ambitions following the two frontrunners, the Clinton-Obama war is far from over, long drawn out, and fierce propaganda battles are on the cards in the coming weeks.
