What is the dam ruckus with the Caucus? I mean seriously, do we really need to hear so much for days on in about all this uselessness in Iowa? I repeat Iowa.....nothing of any real importance can occur in Iowa.....and the results of this over-hyped event is inconsequencial in the long run....Okay. For real now: Iowans get off their potatoe pickin behind and Caucus (yes, that is the correct verb). Less then 500k people caucus. This is slighly dwarfed by the 1 mil plus people who decided to freeze in the streets of Time Square Monday for hours in order to watch a ball drop. (Without Dick Clark, it's just not worth it). It is believed to be important, cause it's the first real event where we can kind of see whose real or not.
Real Democrats: Obama, Hilary
Joke Democrats (time wasters): Edwards (again), Biden, Dodd, and about 2 others no one ever heard about.
Real Republicans: Huckabee, Romney. McCain
Jokes: Giuliani (like Bueller - not present)
What does it all mean? Well, looking at the big picture, nothing. The beginning of the race never was as important as the finish. However, speaking of finish, this outcome will prove the finish for some of the pretenders such as Edwards, Thompson, & Richardson. Hilary finished behind Obama which might rattle her camp a bit, but a bunch of other states to go. One important note is that the young people came to play. And lot of them came out to support the Obama. This trend will probably continue through the whole election and enough of them can definately decipher the next president.
So off to New Hamphire, John McCain's Haven.
Given the overwhelming unhappiness with the current Oil/war mongers in office, we noticing more interest & participation in the election process. Once upton a time in Golf, a bunch of white old men ruled the courses, and kept the game pretty boring. Then came tiger, a bit of color and youth, then came a serious popular interest in the sport. This same phenomenon is happening in politics. Color and youth, but to make things even more interesting, add in a female...
......this is going to be exciting to watch.....
