Whether they won or lost, the caucus candidates in Iowa heaped praise on the state. For proof, let's take a look at their websites.
Barack Obama, who was the big winner of the first electoral test, used the phrase, "thank you" eleven times in the beginning of his speech.
The Senator from New York made "Thank You, Iowa" the front message of her website, even though she came in third. John Edwards, who came in second, also used the same gimmick.
Mitt Romney, who came in second for the GOP wasted no time for the next primary in New Hampshire, even counting down the seconds before January 8.
Mike Huckabee, the other Iowa winner, had a more restrained enthusiasm. The ex-governor of Arkansas used humility with a toned-down message "Iowa for Huckabee".
