Hudson and Xiao wins Iowa Caucus


It was an exciting night in Iowa as the count down to this year’s Presidential election began. 

 In the Republican Primary the popular female Governor of Arkansas, Helen Hudson, won a comfortable victory taking 25 % of the vote. Governor Hudson has long been considered one of the frontrunners for the Republican nomination, and she has now made history by being the first woman to win the Iowa caucus. Will she also make history by being the first woman elected to the White House?

Even though her win puts Hudson in a comfortable lead, she still has a long way to go if she wants to be Commander in Chief. Her most dangerous opponent seems to be the handsome and charming moderate Clay Cooper of North Carolina, who came in second to her in Iowa, claiming 17 % of Iowans’ vote.

Next up is the fairly liberal state of New Hampshire where a Moderate like Cooper will be favoured to beat the Conservative Hudson, and shortly thereafter Cooper’s neighbours in South Carolina will cast their votes.

On the Democratic side California Senator and master campaigner Xander Xiao, succeeded in taking home the Iowa caucus, winning 18 delegates. Xiao’s fellow colleague in the Senate Timothy Taylor, and former Tennessee Governor Quentin Quinn, who won 14 and 13 delegates respectively, was however not far behind.

The question now is weather Xiao’s charm and excellent campaign strategies will help him keep his advantage over the other candidates, and prove that America is indeed ready for a President who’s name they have no idea how to pronounce, or if he will eventually be brought down by one of his many fellow Democrats in the race.

Expensive victories in New Hampshire might cost winners’ nominations.

Helen Hudson and Xander Xiao have done it again. They have booth successfully won the second primaries of this year’s Presidential election and thereby conquered a number of new delegates for their cause.

It was however expensive victories for booth candidates.

Hudson, although being the winner of Iowa, was never expected to be very competive in New Hampshire due to her social conservatism. The Arkansas Governor however seemed determined to change that, and spent a huge amount of her campaign funds on advertising and campaigning in the state to turn the tide. Yet she only narrowly managed to beat home state candidate Wyatt Williams.

On the Democratic side Senator Xander Xiao decided to go all in as well, and use his huge campaign funds to rid himself of all competition in New Hampshire.

This sort of campaigning nevertheless seems to worry quite a big number of people. This paper spoke to the life-long libertarian and New Hampshire native, Bastian Bullworth, who’s been considered one of the country’s leading economic experts for years. About Xiao’s and Hudson’s spending Bullworth said; “It’s one of the most disgusting things I’ve seen in a long time. Both of them are spending like fifteen-year-olds in a candy store.” He continues to tell us that he thinks this might be a problem for the country if either candidate is elected President. “I’m afraid that if these two cannot handle their own campaign economy responsibly, there’s no way we can trust them to be responsible with the Government’s money when in office. I would say that either of these candidates would turn out to be big spenders.”

The question is though if either candidate will ever manage to get nominated if they keep handling their budgets like this. Both Hudson and Xiao wasted more than twice as much in New Hampshire as they gained in campaign contributions, an economic equation that will have them broke before being able to secure enough delegates to become their party’s nominee.

As our eyes turns towards Nevada, Hudson seems to have learned her lesson, as it was recently reported that she will have a very minor campaign in the state that is believed to easily be carried by its own Governor, Eric Emerson. Xander Xiao on the other hand still doesn’t seem to be slowing down money throwing.
