That’s right, Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama did it—they both won the Iowa caucuses. But, that doesn’t mean they’ve won! The candidates will all head to New Hampshire, where more voting will take place on Tuesday.

After the caucuses Biden and Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut both announced they were dropping out of the 2008 presidential race after poor showings. Dodd registered at 0.2 percent in the Iowa polls.

Huckabee told a crowd of enthusiastic supporters Thursday that the Iowa victory would “start a prairie fire of new hope and zeal.”

“I’m amazed but I’m encouraged because tonight what we have seen is a new day in American politics,” he said. “Tonight it starts here in Iowa, but it doesn’t end here. It goes all the way through the other states and ends at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”

Obama rested on the themes on hope and change that have built his campaign from the start, and re-pledged several campaign promises, including trying to find solutions for global problems and pulling troops out of Iraq.

“They said our sights were set too high, they said this country was too divided, too disillusioned to ever come together around a common purpose, but on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn’t do,” Obama told an enthusiastic crowd of supporters. “We are choosing hope over fear, we’re choosing unity over division and sending a powerful message that change is coming to America.”
