Hillary and Obama won the battle and lost the war

Last night Joseph Biden ran away with the debates in Iowa. He was the only one that even seem to show up for the debates even though there were four other people on the stage. Barack Obama didn't even make a physical appearance.

Over and over again Senator Biden stole the show. It might just be possible that his tactics of saying it like it is saying ‘it’ intelligently might pay off in the long run. The other candidates have been working and moving very early to capture attention. They seem to have won the popularity contest early, but it was a very shallow win. As the pain starts to flake off the candidates like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, candidates with more substance like Joseph Biden are actually starting to look and sound better even though they haven't changed their message since the beginning. It might just be possible that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama won the early battles only to lose the war. The leading candidates seem to have purchased a second rate pulse on the nation radar detector, while Biden may have picked up the best radar detector years ago.  If there's something that the American public definitely doesn't want, it's a presidential candidate that wins battles and loses wars.
