Well, you forgot the fact that Huckabee favors including obesity as a protected classification under the ADA. That might be what inspired a few hefty Iowans....<g> I hear that Huckabee was on Leno or Letterman or some late night show playing some instrument. What is it with all these former Arkansan governors? They all have latent wishes to be lounge performers or what? I still don't know whether Huckabee prefers boxers or briefs...I wonder if that was an issue in Iowa...lol.

The media has been trumpeting Iowa for months. Iowa has less citizens, than many large cities in this country. A few over 200,000 people voted today. Again, the size of a small city in the US....not tiny, but not large either. I for one, refuse to knuckle down to the media that want to choose OUR for us for the candidate for the US Presidency. What we have so far is a Queen unseated, hopefully on a permanent basis, we have NO candidate really who has actually talked about serious issues that face this country. We have trumped up economic woes and a media who wants the "un-elites" of this country to think they are "put upon".....and oh, so many etcs. We have Huckabee's campaign chairman acting like Howard Dean or Rand Beers....a childish low level scum, giving threats to another candidate like "he would like to knock out Romney's teeth".... And on top of that, add all the things you just wrote....which are entirely correct. We citizens can not let the media nor the candidates nor their campaign chairmen/chairwomen treat the voters of this country in such a shabby way. Let's let them know our thoughts. Soon, before their bad behavior gets worse, and they think it's OK with the majority of the people.
