CAMPAIGN 2008 / THE IOWA CAUCUSES
DES MOINES - Senator Barack Obama of Illinois and former governor
Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, two political sensations delivering
messages of change and conciliation, captured the first victories of
the 2008 presidential campaign yesterday, winning the Iowa caucuses
after a hard-fought, wide-open contest in both political parties.
Both Obama, the Democratic winner, and Huckabee, his Republican
counterpart, had been painted by opponents as inexperienced and not
ready to lead the nation. But Iowa voters, despite being wooed by
well-funded political veterans in both parties, in the end favored
the candidates whom polls indicated they simply liked better.
