The Iowa Caucus is over and the New Hampshire primary is today. I would say that it is now time to start getting interested in the run for the Presidency. After today we will have a better idea about who are the contenders and who are the pretenders. Overall I would say that I'm pretty dissapointed in the Republican field, and I'm extremely dissapointed that Huckabee won the Iowa Caucus. From the articles I read it seems like the evangelicals came out in force to vote for him in Iowa. To all the evangelical Christians out there I want you to stop hijacking the Republican party. It is ridiculous that for a Republican to get nominated they have to get in front of you people (like a monkey in a suit), and dance to whatever tune you play for them. They have to say that they don't believe in evolution, that they will ban gay marriage and abortion, and some even say that they talk to god. I don't want anyone that believes in creationism to have the capability to drop nukes. And it doesn't send a very good message to the rest of the world that we seperate our religions from our government. So for the sake of the party and the country, let a moderate Republican get the nomination. Besides, if you power a guy like Huckabee through to the nomination he will get plastered against whomever he faces from the Democrats.
