All about the Iowa

It's time [almost]. The Iowa caucuses are tomorrow and the polls are still tight. The only real change is that Huckabee is now about 5-6 points ahead of Romney. Giuliani actually made a smart move by leaving Iowa early and moving on to New Hampshire where he may still have a chance [though I doubt it because McCain is looking pretty good there].

Moving on quickly, the late-night shows have returned. Both Letterman and O'Brien are sporting beards [white and flaming red if you were curious =P]. I don't know if that's supposed to symbolize something, but it's funny to look at. All the shows showed support for their striking writers [or in Letterman's case, the striking writers because he has his back]. Huckabee apparently didn't know about the strike and didn't know he wasn't allowed to cross. He did anyway and even played some of his music. I don't know if he gained or lost voters, but either way, his appearance was...something. HIllary Clinton also made an appearance  on Letterman's show by introducing it back on-air. Though it was very obvious that there was a lot of time filling on the NBC shows. O'Brien was spinning his wedding band on the table while Leno asked the audience questions. The shows have definitely changed, but hopefully when the strike ends, everything will be back to normal.

The very good news is that Keith Olbermann is back in his anchoring chair doing a very good job. David Shuster also made an appearance, which I very much enjoyed. Oh, Joe Scarborough appeared on Hardball, which was nice as well. I like all my Msnbc boys to be together. Yes, I'm weird that way. This may be old news, but Joe and David had a disagreement on waterboarding [which I take the side of David by the way] so they  may not like each other so much. Trouble in Msnbc paradise? I blame Tucker because he wasn't there so David had to fill in and this is how it all started. I should write a story about Msnbc drama, how [exciting/boring] would that be?

Nothing else from me today because I am worn out and have to clean my room tomorrow [so weird eh...]. I did watch Charlie Wilson's War today though and it was amazing. Go see it if you haven't.

This is Franny. Good night. [very short, I like it =P]

EDIT: Just an add on. Oil hit $100 per barrel shortly today although it ended slightly lower. everyone expected this to happen but not so soon.
