Third Post of the Day: Better Make It IMPORTANT

I was both encouraged and disturbed by the caucus results. Encouraged because I like Obama very much. (Anyone know where I can find video of his speech? I had to go to bed . . .) He's not as far left as I'd like, but the reality is that no one on the American political scene is or is ever likely to be. I also like Edwards--I stayed up to watch his speech, and he said all the right things--although I think perhaps the stink of failure in '04 may be following him.

Huckabee, on the other hand? Kinda scary. That's quite a trench between the two "winners" last night.

He's a former evangelist with a history of statements denying evolution, a woman's right to choose, etc. He believes the Bible is infallible, that homosexuality is abberant, and in 1992 he was advocating that AIDS patients should be separated from the general population; he's since backed off on that, but that gives you an idea of his mindset . . .
