So let me get this straight . . . only 4% of Iowans actually choose the winners?

Why in the hell do people act like Iowa matters at all? How stupid.

I've heard countless analyses about how so and so "needs" to win Iowa, for example, if Romney doesn't win Iowa how it's all over for him. What utter bollocks.

What a G D waste of time to pretend like Iowa means anything at all. I resent the media acting as if it did.

Our system for choosing a King of the World is completely f*ed up.

2. Doesn't cost as much

to control the vote that way, why else would both parties complain about changing the system?

3. It may be more about convincing people to show up

If you are not passionate about your candidate, do you show up for him/her? That's the big question.

4. It's always been that way.....

Elections controlled by a small number of voters. Since the beginning. Not just in Iowa, everywhere.

Hoping the time will come when we will all vote the same way all over the country.

Like they do in real democracies, all over the world.
