21. Iowa?
You are assuming that Iowa will remain 1st. That may not happen.

You might also be assuming that Iowa chooses the nominee and the MSM sells it to the rest of the nation. That is not true. (The leader out of Iowa doesn't always win the nomination.)

I don't believe the process is the problem (well in a way I do, see below), the MSM is the problem. They are already saying Clinton will be our nominee and we are 3 1/2 years from the Iowa caucus.

I could debate whether or not Iowa should remain 1st but that has been done over and over again. Everyone has an opinion and a good argument. The DNC is debating it right now. We'll have to see what they decide.....although I have little trust in their judgement. The front loaded primaries in 2004 had a much more adverse affect on the process than Iowa's 1st in the nation status.
