    Iowa is the ass of the country. It's the most boring place ever created. Y'all are even worse than Oklahomans.
    HA!

    Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Idaho make Iowa appear like an urbanized state.

    Not to mention that the Quad Cities of eastern Iowa and western Illinois has a strong, local gay community.

      Gay people can be quite boring. Exhibit A: well, I don't think I need to point him out.

        You're not very good at trolling, are you?

          I don't know, but you sure are taking the bait.

                I've lived in all of these states, and I assure you that they are only boring, if you are a boring person.

                    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

                      Did anyone notice Howard Dean's apoplectic "speech" to his followers last night? Simply unbelievable!

                      One of the commentators last night said that Howard Dean may be in trouble financially as well. Apparently most of the contributors from his Internet campaign have reached the maximum contribution of $2000 and that if he is going to raise more money he needs to broaden his base. This results in Iowa are not going to help.

                      Right now to me this looks like a real horse race between Kerry, Edwards and Dean. I expect that Clark will not do well in New Hampshire and will be forced to withdraw very soon.

                        Oh dear. I think he's finished as a candidate, the only thing that could save him is his war chest.

                        I wonder if the initial Dean surge was largely due to the fact that people weren't looking closely at the candidates and opinion was following divisions between the really committed democrats. Less activist democrats perhaps don't want anything to do with him.

                        Then again I suppose the only way to really gauge what happened is to have been in Iowa.

                        Odd that Gephardt did so badly though. He's a good guy and a competent politician.

                          Why exactly is primary order the way it is? Why Iowa and New Hampshire instead of California and New York?
                          New Hampshire held its primary early when most other states did not use primaries to select delegates. Many had their delegates chosen by national party committee members, who themselves were selected well before the presidential campaign. Conventions were thus dominated by professional pols, elected officials and party machine operatives. In 1968 this gave Humphrey the Dem nomination, despite not having run in the primaries. After 1968 party rules were changed, making it very difficult for states to qualify if they didnt hold a primary or an open caucus like Iowa's. NH already was first in the nation, and has repeatedly threatened political revenge against the party national commitees if they allow another state to go first. Iowa managed to avoid that, since they already had an earlier caucas that no one ever paid attention to, until Carter won it in 1976. Since then Iowa has invoked the same privilege as NH, and the national parties dont have the cojones to challenge NH and Iowa.

                                California also has 351 delegates. It seems better to have a bit of a pace at the beginning.
