The author says: “Should Rep. Ron Paul, who first ran for president in 1988, win Iowa, it may be the last time the state has the honor of being the first state to hold a vote every four years.”

Which is actually a reason to hope Ron Paul wins! Iowa becoming irrelevant would be the greatest gift we could get from this year’s caucus.

I agree, and I'm a lifelong Iowan. There is no longer an upside to Iowa playing any role in the nomination process... for either party.

Besides, I need a break- with each passing election, having gun show misanthropes and perpetual undergrad stoners yelling in my ear about Ron Paul becomes less tolerable.

It's time to strip Iowa of it's "First in the Nation" Primary/Caucus status. Usually, the winner out of Iowa is never elected President anyhow. And any state who keeps Ron Paul at 20-25 percent in the polls should not be called the "Iowa Caucus", but the "Hawkey Caca".
