Iowa caucuses are the most corrupt voting precincts in the country.
When Dean won Iowa, fat swimmer rolled into town, kicked Gephardt to the curb and gave all his votes to Kerry.
This time O had people in attendance who intimidated the caucus folks into voting for him. Face to face the folks in Iowa were not about to be deemed racist.
