I love that these two guys won last night. I'm leaning heavily toward Obama as my presidential choice, so of course I was happy to see him win big. It does my soul good to see a black man win so handily in a white state. I was happy to see Huckabee come out on top too, in spite of the fact that I disagree with him strongly on some issues. I like his populist streak and the fact that he's "sticking it" to the moneyed elite of his party. They both speak a message of hope and reconciliation and are kinda-sorta trying to run positive campaigns. (I'm also comforted by the fact that Huckabee would almost certainly be a very long-shot in the general election, especially against Obama.)
They have a long way to go, and many obstacles ahead, but the race is on and well run so far. Go get 'em boys!

We are thrilled about Obama, too! I'm not in any way starting to plan for this (my heart couldn't take the disappointment) but, oh, hope feels good, too.
I disagree with Huckabee on, well, everything (LOL) but I'd be happy with him as the Rep. nominee, just for the long-shot factor you mentioned. *sassy grin*
Exciting days!
I thought that this was a very positive event too!! I *hope* Obama goes all the way!
I'm with Jennifer--it feels so GOOD, but I'm also so terrified to dare even hope...
