SEE THE GLORY

Being an Iowan and all, I'm no doubt supposed to say something about the results of the caucuses.

But really, what is there to say? Huckabee's win is unlikely to mean much down the road--bashing Hispanic immigrants probably won't play well in Florida--and Clinton's third-place finish took many by surprise (not least the candidate herself), just as Biden's status as first casualty surprised absolutely no one.

It's early. Things will change. The whole process is a joke anyway, a dinosaur whose large, unwieldy body continues to function after its brain has already died.
