Barack Obama took a big step on Thursday toward becoming the first black U.S. president when his campaign for change caught fire in Iowa and swept him past Hillary Clinton in the opening Democratic nominating contest.
On the Republican side, underdog Mike Huckabee capped a stunning political rise to beat Republican rival Mitt Romney, despite being dramatically outspent by the wealthy former Massachusetts governor and venture capitalist.
Obama, an Illinois senator, captured the first Democratic prize on the road to the White House with a comeback triumph over New York Sen. Clinton and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, who were in a tight battle for second.
''We are choosing hope over fear, we are choosing unity over division and sending a powerful message that change is coming to America,'' Obama told thousands of cheering supporters.

I'm really hoping Hillery makes it. I think her past experiance has put her in a position to know the right buttons to push to make some changes. Don't care about any of them's personal life, we all have one. I just want some changes. Hopefully for the better, but it really can't get much worse, can it?
