I wish y’all well, and hope that the wind ends up at your backs. I do like the southern primary system, with the top two primary vote-getters in a run-off. Do you end up with whomever has the plurality?

In the Iowa GOP, if no primary candidate gets 35%, the choice is made at the district convention.

Because of Iowa’s caucus system, grass-roots determination can overcome the GOPe. US Rep. Steve King was chosen by the district convention.
