Many Iowans Struggle With Political Indecision
David A. Fahrenthold December 25
ANKENY, Iowa — At first, she liked Texas Gov. Rick Perry. He was about faith and family, just like she is. Then she heard Perry debate.
And then she liked Rep. Michele Bachmann (Minn.). Another assertive Christian. But that ended, too: “She has kind of an annoying voice.” With 24 days before the state’s key caucuses, six candidates gather onstage. Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney are taking on different roles than in previous matchups as Gingrich has climbed in the polls.
So then Susan Fredregill — a 58-year-old retiree with blonde highlights and six grandchildren to watch — moved on to her third Republican candidate of this chaotic presidential primary season. She liked former House speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.).
At least for a few days.
“Let’s just pick the smart one,” Fredregill thought. “And get it over with.”
This is what Iowa’s epic case of political indecision looks like, from the inside.
With less than two weeks before its first-in-the-nation caucuses, this state has already cycled through four front-runners. The latest is Rep. Ron Paul (Texas), whose poll numbers rose this week as Gingrich’s lead deflated.
This political promiscuity is a little embarrassing, for people who picture themselves in a state-sized Norman Rockwell painting: America’s sober, decisive First Voters. Now, many Iowans can’t stop changing their minds.
