Iowa Calling 6 our of 10 correct?

Iowa’s real record is actually 4 wrong 3 right and 3 irrelevant.

2012 wrong, 2008 wrong, 2004 Bush unopposed so irrelevant, 2000 right, 1996 right, 1992 Bush unopposed so irrelevant
1988 wrong, 1984 Reagan unopposed so irrelevant, 1980 wrong
1976 Right

Voting for an incumbent doesn't count. Iowa consistently misses when there is no GOP incumbent.

In the five contested races over the past quarter century (1980, 1988, 1996, 2000 and 2008), the eventual party nominee won the Iowa caucuses twice: Kansas Senator Bob Dole in 1996 and Texas Governor George W. Bush in 2000. In the three other years the winners were Vice President George H.W. Bush in 1980 (eight years prior to his eventual nomination in 1988), Bob Dole in 1988 (again eight years in advance of his success) and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee in 2008.

And Santorum has to be added for 2012. Iowa is 2 for 6, and they even missed Reagan in 1980.

Iowa's bad track record for picking GOP winners
