Iowans luv their cockass.
So I'm told......*
Fearless predict:
Huckabee for the Reds (Chuck Norris factor is hard to overcome)
Obama for the Blues... according to this site http://blog.compete.com/2007/07/18/d...ds-richardson/
this guy agrees with me that this is an especially important election:

Quote:
Both Democrats and Republicans are stressing the election's importance, spending record amounts of money to convince voters they are best-suited to take on crises ranging from global terrorism and the war in Iraq to a housing slump that threatens to send the U.S. economy into recession.
``This is roughly like the time of the beginning of the Cold War, when the country was searching for a wise policy to meet the international challenges,'' says presidential historian Robert Dallek. ``That's really the big issue of this election.''
Domestic concerns are no less pressing. In addition to a wave of real-estate foreclosures, the economy is under stress from funding crises facing the Medicare and Social Security systems, and 47 million Americans still lack health insurance.
I give the Lick winner about 4-1 odds to win the nomination.

I also believe voice pitch is important in choosing a President.
that shit matters. i mean, its really not as ridiculous as it seems either.
whats more ridiculous: voting based on who's appearance you like better or who's policy in the middle east you like better. which one do you think your more qualified to judge?
Not only that, but have you seen the nail polish she uses? What a tramp! I could never endorse that color on MY president.Quote:

I'd be in favor of picking four states at random after the mid-term election, sorting from smallest to largest # of delegates, and avoiding the Iowa/NH bias.Quote:

How many time has an Iowa Caucus winner went on to be the President? Its not that important.
Scrappy the Moc says TO should shut up and ejoy his automatic NCAA tourney bid.Quote:

Pretty regularly. But the real one is New Hampshire. The winner in NH almost always wins in November.Quote:

I may go as far as to argue that this is the most important US election. Ever.Quote:

I suppose this one is just as big because none of those things have been resolved.
Doubt this is top 30 in importance.
our position in the global economy is awfully shaky right now. i honestly believe it is 'very important' we elect a leader who not only knows what needs to be done, but how to get it done. hilary has the experience (maybe) but she is too devisive to get cooperation from accross the isle to really get done what needs it.
we cant afford another president who is willing to put party and chronyism before country again.
the china threat is real, imo.
and to put things in perspective, i believe the iraq war is only moderately important, relatively speaking.
Stop ripping on Iowa.
It offers them a feeling of importance once every 4 years (nationally). People throughout the world say, "Oh yeah....Iowa. Almost forgot about them. It's near Maryland, right?"
Iowa needs a superhero, like Kansas has Superman.
I elect Glenn.
No joke. I'm not totally against the Iowa Cockass. After spending millions of dollars on campaign advertising, this is the first true barometer on where candidates fare. I find it interesting how the Dems have a completely different system of caucusing than the more simplified version the Reps use.
Not sure if one version sends a clearer message than the other one, but it's disheartning that if your Democratic candidate holds less than 15% on the vote in one area (I think it's 15), you can actually "switch" to a stronger candidate. Weird.
Iraq is doing better, AQ was beaten out of Iraq by most reports and SK has come to the table.Quote:

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere weeeeeeeee gooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FoxNews has called Huckabee the winner
and if you noticed, BO has taken the lead in %'s, according to cnn. he started at back 3rd to first. id like to see some correspondence with the candidates, i bet hilary is wigging out.
It was a really good showing for BO, agree, but I think when the Dems end up in a 3 way tie, Iowa will be forgoten tomorrow...If you know what I mean.
No one will take any real momentum out of it. BO will have the most, no doubt, but not much mo, imo.
evangicals hate the mormon.
thats a good point. actually, the only way i think iowa means alot on the blue side is if BO wins and hilary gets 3rd.Quote:

these analysts are diluding themselves. everyone hates mormons.
35 BO
32 Edwards
31 Hill
BO starting to seperate himself from the pack. Good news. I just hope that Edwards can stomp Hillary by the end of the night.
its a damn near draw right now between hil and edwards. couldnt be any closer. it looks like its a race for second though, which is nice.
