Democrats Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards fought in Iowa's presidential caucus, a multimillion-dollar exercise. Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee vied for the Republicans.
With President Bush constitutionally barred from seeking re-election, both parties had wide-open, costly campaigns. Obama, Clinton and Edwards spent at least $19 million on television advertising among them.
Obama, a first-term Illinois senator, stressed a need for change as he campaigned to become the first black president in history. Arizona Sen. John McCain, Rep. Ron Paul of Texas and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson were also on the ballot, although their aides made no claim they were in the running for a first-place finish. So, too, Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor who largely abandoned the state in the campaign's final days.

Washington-Monitor
I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.
- Abraham Lincoln, speech in Washington, 1865Would it be better to start a blog about Washington on the 4th of July.
But, should we wait another-moment, while George Bush and his-gang 'go-on' to butcher innocent lives; in search of oil, gas and many other-resources; according to media reports.
Ahead of the 2008 Presidential Elections, our aim is to convince real Americans to vote for truth, justice & world-peace.
