Four want to bomb Iraq as soon as they take the White House. One says that's crazy. Two are birthers. All are against a woman's right to choose. Four are against gay rights. Three say they've been chosen by a decidedly Christian God to run for President (two are gonna be pretty disappointed in her tomorrow night). All have "tax plans" that will raise your taxes markedly, but cut taxes on the wealthy. All want to take away your kids Medicare.

Choose your poison!

Edit: Ack, forgot Newt. Well, he can be "Srsly?"

iowa chose george bush in 2000 and 2004 and barak obama in 2008. 3 for 3 recently.

and 8/14 isn't all that bad when you have to go first.

obama was the insurgent candidate against the well funded clinton organization four years ago. she looked inevitable until iowa delivered.

how soon we forget.

i like iowa and new hampshire. they're completely unrepresentative but you can't have retail politics in big states. they're the only places you'll see anything close to a local election where the candidates have to actually go out and meet people.
