Week in the News: After Iowa  
Aired: Friday, January 04, 2008 10-11AM ET

(AP)
By host Tom Ashbrook

Wow. This may not be the presidential campaign year many people expected.

Iowa has said its piece. And Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee have swept their parties' first election year contests. Not the big-money Romney or the big name Clinton but an inspiring young African American Illinois senator, and an Arkansas governor and longtime Baptist preacher who both campaigned on a hopeful message of change.

It's a brand new day here, and the fight has just begun.

This hour On Point: we grab the big news out of Iowa and look straight forward to what it means for New Hampshire and the country.
