Why do we even HAVE Iowa? The state is like a Democrat precinct where vote fraud is sop.
Because the weak, effete, Republican elite do not want to have to run national primaries where the real will of the American Republicans could overcome there money and influence.
2008 = McCain.
2012 = Gingrich or Romney.
Election after election, the same "hold your nose and vote for X". Until the Republican party is taken over by conservatives, or a third, conservative party arises, voting by conservatives is an exercise in futility.
