Iowans have a long tradition of political centrism borne of a strong libertarian desire to steer clear of government interference, along with an equally strong desire for federal subsidy checks to help better enjoy the government non-interference.
Eggzackly! I'm for smaller gummint myself as long as the dang welfare checks don't bounce. If'n that ain't centrism I don't know what is.
it is pretty lame that Iowa plays such a role.
Still, it is not as bad as that wierdo New Hampshire going so early.
So tell me again why Iowans are supporting Huckabee ?
If that’s what Iowa is offering the country as a product of their superior test scores, we now know how shallow that test is.
Great read, thanks. Now for an OT question. I really miss reading the reports from Z-Man, now that he’s partying ‘downstairs’ with the big red guy. Any other Jihadis likely to take over as foreign correspondent?

(Sniff!) Yeah, me too. I think the Hawk's still in mourning. It takes time to heal, y'know...
Wrong! For your information, (a) the State Bird is the Eastern Goldfinch; and (b) the state nematode is called the corn borer.
Z-man’s gone, but Motivational Team-Builder Consultant Ayman al-Zawahiri will be back.
W00t! Someone needs to synergize the core competencies of Al-Q Inc to maximize stakeholder buy-in...

Wrong, that is what i meant it to be. Iowa caucuses are irrelevant.
Some excellent points made here among them
“How fah is it to Hahvahd Yahd?” A long goddamn way from Cedar Rapids, pal. So start walking.
Iowans Are Smart. One area where Iowa is NOT moderate: the area of brains. Go ahead and snicker, but perennial statistics place Iowa at or near the top of standardized intelligence measures like the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and the Iowa City-based ACT college aptitude test. Yeah, I can hear all you crybaby inferior-intelligence states: “Waaaa! That’s because the refs are homers! Waaa!” Blubber about the refs all the way home on the short bus, Florida, because the IQ scoreboard says you just got PWN3D by the #1 Hawkeyes. Boo yeah!
That’s corn borer, to you, sir.
Tease him with the question; What’s the Iowa state rock ?
Thanks you for your heroic efforts to put the Iowa caucuses into perfect context. I know I can sleep better at night knowing these brave and noble Iowans have been entrusted to do my thinking for me.
