You do understand it is the Party that brings the Candidate to the Presidential table? To be the nominee for either the Republican Party, or the Democrat Party, you have to have the highest number of delegates supporting you at the convention, and Iowa matters, and so does Michigan.

That is true, but this year is very fluid. A lot of voters aren’t sure yet, or not satisfied. A straw poll is very different from a caucus [even in Iowa]. The story of this election hasn’t been written yet.
Bob Dole beat GHWB at the Iowa Caucuses in 1988. It is only SO important.
