Sen. Barack Obama, bidding to become the nation’s first black president, swept to victory in the Iowa caucuses Thursday night over Hillary Clinton and a high-powered Democratic field. Mike Huckabee rode a wave of support from evangelical Christians to win the opening round among Republicans in the 2008 campaign for the White House.
Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina appeared headed for second place, relegating Clinton, the former first lady, to a close third.
Sens. Chris Dodd of Connecticut and Joseph Biden of Delaware abandoned their bids for the Democratic nomination.";

Sen. Hillary Clinton, unbowed by a third-place finish in the Iowa Democratic caucuses, hailed a “great night for Democrats” and said the strong turnout pointed for sure to the election of a Democratic president in November. She said she would “keep pushing as hard as we can.”
The former first lady, who had once held a commanding lead in polls here, congratulated caucus winner Sen. Barack Obama and the second-place finisher, former Sen. John Edwards. She promised cheering supporters she would take “this enthusiasm and go tonight to New Hampshire.” The state holds its primary on Jan. 8.";

Democrat John Edwards told The Associated Press that the Iowa caucus showed that voters are choosing change over the status quo, and he vowed a vigorous campaign into New Hampshire.
Edwards, who lost a close race to Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, said he would continue running as the candidate for middle-class Americans. Edwards finished second and Hillary Rodham Clinton was a close third.
“I mean, we were grotesquely outspent in Iowa 5-to-1 and the fact that I’m as strong as I am now under these circumstances indicates that this message of change and standing up to corporate greed and fighting for the middle class and jobs really matters,” the 2004 vice presidential nominee said.";

Republican Mitt Romney failed Thursday to pick up the first of two back-to-back wins he hoped would propel him toward his party’s presidential nomination, losing the Iowa caucuses five days before what is now for him a pivotal New Hampshire primary.
The former Massachusetts governor, who spent more time and money in this state than his rivals, was upset by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a late-blooming challenger who ultimately became a target of Romney’s negative advertising.
During the past two months, Romney surrendered a double-digit lead in the polls, in part on the strength of Christian conservative support for Huckabee, a former Southern Baptist minister. Romney is trying to become the first Mormon elected president, but has faced questions from some evangelicals who consider his faith a cult.
“It’s not surprising that with a large evangelical turnout, the evangelical candidate won,” Romney spokesman Kevin Madden said.";

Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani praised rival Mike Huckabee for his win in the Iowa caucuses on Thursday — a contest Giuliani skipped — yet insisted his own early-state campaign could win over the long haul.
“I think we’re in good shape. We’re ahead in maybe 16, 18 of the 29 states that are coming up,” the former New York mayor said. “This was the first one. I think it’s one that, quite honestly, we didn’t expect that we would win. And we didn’t put a lot of resources into it. And now we’ll move on to the others.”
Giuliani holds an early lead in polls in Florida, which conducts its primary Jan. 29, and he hopes a strong showing here will offset poor results in early-voting states.";
