Iowa started the Obama machine 4 years ago during the primary. Now, maybe Iowa will help end the Obama machine 4 years after.

I wonder if the Register knows the ground game in Iowa and who is going to win the state. Doesn’t seem likely that they would pick the looser.

Barack Obama, “superbly qualified”????

I’m sorry, but the Community Organizer in Chief was never qualified to be elected President in the first place, and even after four years in office, he’s STILL not qualified!
