Many stories I've heard.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree... -

"I think, oddly enough, Clark is really the big winner after Iowa. He knew he was going to take a hit there, so he skipped it, and now he has NH all to himself."
He really isn't the winner. Before he only had to take on Dean. Now in NH there could well be two more viable candidates he has to take on there."I'm moving to the Left" - Lancer

1. Dems can win Florida, Arkansas, Tennesee, and maybe Lousiana. and with Edwards, possibly NC.Originally posted by GePap
Southerners are not entrenched in the Republican bandwagon, but they do need a democrat that will come closer to expressing the same value structure.
Which is? If it is true that southerners have some "value structure" of thier own, why should any party gear it national election startegy to just one group that decides to remain separate from the rest of the country?
[
2. Even if they lose, it helps if they can contest southern states, diverting GOP resources from swing states. This works in reverse - a GOP candidate who can contest Michigan, New Jersey, or Calif has advantages, even if they dont win those states.
3. Southernness isnt confined to the South. There are historic cultural connections between the South and Ohio, for example. The kinds of candidates who cant win the South have great difficulty in Ohio. Ditto for mountain states like Colorado and Arizona. Even California - has anyone noted that Calif has been safe for the Dems only with Clinton and Gore on the ballot? Calif is a lot more than SF and west LA - its very much Fresno, the Central valley, and culturally conservative middle class suburbs of LA.
And of course Penn. is "Philly at one end, Pitt at the other, and Alabama in between"
Its not that the South is culturally different, so much that the upper North is culturally diffferent."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

Which is why Iowa rocks.Originally posted by Edan
Just to point out, the winner in that election was from Iowa, skewing the results just a bit.
I'm not suggesting that winning in Iowa predicts winning the nomination. But winning in Iowa, or doing very strong, especially in a horse race like this one was supposed to be, gives you much needed media attention plus momentum.

The states aren't representative of the democratic base, among other reasons.

"Why exactly is primary order the way it is? Why Iowa and New Hampshire instead of California and New York?"
It's not enshrined anywhere. Those state just happen to schedule their delegate selection earlier.
Although, Iowa and NH aren't that bad as states to do the early primaries. Both of them are swing states that could go either way in an election, So it is a good sign if you can have some appeal in those States."I'm moving to the Left" - Lancer
