Those were huge wins yesterday in Iowa for Democrat Barack Obama and Republican Mike Huckabee! While this is really just the spring training of the political season, with much bigger races yet to come in South Carolina, Florida, New York, California and many other major states within the next 30 days, I think Iowa's results is an early indication that people are responding strongly to the positive message preached by the two victors–namely, that most people want an end to narrow, gridlock-inducing political partisanship. So, where do the candidates go from here?
I'm going a bit beyond my usual boundaries and blogging on the presidential race for two reasons:
First, whoever takes over the White House in 2009 will have a huge impact on how the insurance industry is handled, especially when it comes to health care reform, and its potential impact on the medical portions of workers' comp and auto. Second, if there is anything I love talking about more than baseball (and insurance, of course), it's politics!
