2. Excuse me

Could you get me the links to the articles that called the huge turn-out in Iowa and the large lead he took there. Except for the one Des Moines poll. I'm talking about the weeks of articles where the media picked and predicted Obama to run away with this election.

3. I don't like McCain Obama as much as I like Huckabee/Romney Obama.

I guess that's NH for you. But I wonder how far McCain's support really stretches at this point...
