My conclusion after watching c-span for about 45 minutes is that Iowa is a stupid state full of stupid people and we should not let this tiny sliver of the US determine who our primary winners are. So far a few phone calls from Iowans... an older woman obviously not too bright talking about how "Duncan Hunter" is her man, her number one issue is ABORTION although she is obviously too old to have kids, what a crock, as if the US abortion policy is the NUMBER ONE ISSUE we are facing give me a break! There are thousands of adult abortions going on every day in Iraq I wonder if she has considered that. Anyway just listening to these local yokels is disturbing. We should drop Iowa. States like Iowa are the reason we have Bush the worst president of all time.

where is edwardsboy in IOWAAAAA ? ===============http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/04/us/politics/04elect.html?ref=politics Mr. Obama’s victory in this overwhelmingly white state was a powerful answer to the question of whether America was prepared to vote for a black person for president. What was remarkable was the extent to which race was not a factor in this contest. Surveys of voters entering the caucuses also indicated that he had won the support of many independents, a development that his aides used to rebut suggestions from rivals that he could not win a general election. In addition, voters clearly rejected the argument that Mr. Obama does not have sufficient experience to take over the White House, a central point pressed by Mrs. Clinton. The result sent tremors of apprehension through Mrs. Clinton’s camp, and she promptly turned her attention to New Hampshire, flying there on a plane that left at midnight. Aides said that former President Bill Clinton would go there immediately and spend the next five days campaigning in a state where he has always been strong Mrs. Clinton, in her concession speech, sought again to embrace the mantle of change that has served Mr. Obama so well, even as she was flanked on the stage by a Mr. Clinton, his face frozen in a smile, and Madeleine K. Albright, who was Mr. Clinton’s secretary of state. Polling suggested that a once overwhelming lead enjoyed by Mrs. Clinton in New Hampshire was vanishing even before the results of Thursday’s vote. Mrs. Clinton’s advisers have long worried that a loss here would weaken her even more going into New Hampshire, stripping her both of claims to inevitability and to electability. Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama — as well as Mr. Edwards — face a rigorous and expensive run of nearly 25 contests between now and Feb. 5. Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton appear far better-positioned, in terms of organization and money, to compete through that period, than Mr. Edwards. Though Mr. Edwards presented second place as a victory, he fell far short of winning — as he had once sought to do — and might find it difficult now to raise more money or find new supporters.
