Iowa Caucus: What Went Wrong?!?!

As we all know, the Iowa caucus was held on January 3rd, 2008. And as we all know, things went complete wacko.
Alright. Let's start with the Republican caucus. So here are the standings from the caucus: We have Mike Huckabee, who seemingly climbed out of nowhere and came in FIRST PLACE with a whooping 40,841. After him came Romney, with 29,949 votes--it seems that all his recent hard work paid off. Then came Thompson in third with 15,904, and following him with a close 15,559 votes was John McCain. After him came Ron Paul with 11,817. And now we have my man Giuliani in SIXTH PLACE with a measly 4,097 votes. Yessiree, I have officially given up on him and dubbed him "French Toast." After him came Hunter, whose first name I do not know with 524 votes, and after him came Tancredo, whose name I also do not know, with............5 votes. Using the calculator on my trusty cell phone, I have concluded that there were 118,696 participaters in the Republican Iowa Caucus.
As for the Democratic caucus, I do not have exact numbers, rather, I have percentages. Surprisingly, we find Barack Obama in first place with 38% of the participants. All his work with the youths paid off. It was a smart move, alright, even though Hillary thinks it is cheating. Next we have John Edwards with 30% of the votes, and after him we have Hillary Clinton, with also 30% of the votes. I have to say, I am disappointed--I expected more. From all the vigor she had in the beginning, I was expecting at least frst place. But, alas, the world is full of surprises. After her is Richardson, and here the numbers take a steep dive--only 2%. After him we have Biden with .9%, and Dodd with .02%. Sacrificial lambs, if you ask me.
Ah, yes, this world is full of surprises, and please comment with your opinions.

Alright,2 things.
1)Some people have to debate for Rudy in Brand, you know?It'd be nice for a little support for my poor little Rudy who is barely in the news.But, I think you know plenty about my miracle article. which leaves me with 4 words left for 1:HE SHOULD HAVE WON!!!!
2)Sympethy for Hil, please.The woman was crying for heaven's sake! She said--and I quote--"Why don't people like me?" People think that this is the reason why she did well in the NH primary.I mean, if you had known Hil personally,I think you'd like her. And you know perfectly well what I mean, Mr.
You also know perfectly well who I am because of the following:Hillary vs. Rudy '08!!!
