Who Won the Iowa Caucus in 2008?

Every Saturday evening my husband and I enjoy watching Mike Huckabee's show on FoxNews, and just enjoyed another evening of it tonight. As I was looked at old posts from a previous blog of mine, I came across one from early January of 2008 in which I had a link to the results of the Iowa Caucus as provided by Google Maps...do you remember who won? Yes, Mike Huckabee! Tonight he had Obama girl on, and she promises that if he runs next time around she'll do a song for him. Change just isn't come fast enough for her, she says.

Fast forward to the same date that I did that post a year later, and I shared a bit of history about George Washington. "Elections haven't always taken place the first Tuesday of November. 220 years ago today [1/7/09] the first presidential election took place. Things have changed a lot since that time, according to 'This Day in History' and other sources, only white men who were property owners were permitted to vote....and now our first black President will be [and has!!] taking the oath of office in only a matter of days.

When George Washington, our Nations first President, won the first election 220 years ago today [1/7/09], he wasn't sworn into office until April. of 1789."
