Biden has seen standing room-only crowds, like the one in Ames, across the state in recent weeks. And the Ames audience was twice moved to its feet in ovations for Biden's stump speech - a surprisingly brisk 18 minutes compared to Obama's nearly hour-long closing argument, Hillary's 45-minute speeches and Edwards' typical 35-minute spiel.

...Indeed the restaurant is overflowing, both in people and enthusiasm. When Huckabee walked in a few minutes earlier, before he even said a word, everyone spontaneously stood and applauded, as if he had already won something. It was a welcome relief after an hour-long flight through frozen winds on rickety prop planes - one for the candidate and two for the press, including a wood-paneled antique that seated just five.

(Odinga had led most pre-election polls in the weeks leading up to the election...
