David Brooks / New York Times:
The Two Earthquakes  —  I've been through election nights that brought a political earthquake to the country.  I've never been through an election night that brought two.  —  Barack Obama has won the Iowa caucuses.  You'd have to have a heart of stone not to feel moved by this.
New York Post:
CLINTONS NO LONGER THE LIFE OF PARTY  —  DES MOINES, Iowa - Awaiting her coronation here last night, Hillary Rodham Clinton instead faced a seething revolt within her own party.  —  More than 70 percent of Iowa Democrats rejected her bid to get back into the White House.

Matthew Yglesias:
Delivering  —  I think the manner of Barack Obama's win is pretty impressive.  I can't be the only one who was a bit inclined toward a cynical roll of the eyes at the idea of winning on the back of unprecedented turnout, mobilizing new voters, brining in young people, etc.
