See, THIS is why the American system is ridiculous.
Because Obama won ONE caucus in a SINGLE state - ONE!!!!!!!!! (emphasis on "one") Hillary Clinton is suddenly out of the race and written off as someone who's going to lose.
This is entirely media generated. Bill Clinton didn't win Iowa, for instance. What's happening is that the media's desperate to pick a winner. So, they'll latch on to the first sign that someone's in the lead via a vote of some sort, no matter how ridiculous it is. Just because a fraction of Iowans thought that Obama was better, suddenly he's going to win the Democratic nomination.
This from the same media that told the American people that McCain had a good chance. Then he imploded, and suddenly Guiliani was the candidate. He had NO substance other than "Mr. 9-11", so they moved on to Fred Thompson. He had no substance either, so they moved on to Romney, who was spending money left right and center. Then, on to Huckabee since he's popular with the religious right (which is a large group in Iowa, thus his primary win. But it's not HUGE for the USA). Then back to McCain because he's recovering again.
