A little something jacked from gangsta_ho_bag ...

[apocalypsos]

For all those on my friends list saying, "Kerry?!" this morning. Lighten up! ;)

Iowa has had a caucus system since 1846 ... but it was in 1972 that the Iowa caucuses were moved to late January to be the first of the nation's primaries/caucuses. Since then, only one Iowa caucus winner (Jimmy Carter) has gone on to win the general election.

George Bush, Sr. came in third in Iowa in 1988, and went on to win the general election.

Bill Clinton came in third in Iowa in 1992, and went on to win the general election and two terms in the White House.

Iowa is, by no means, an accurate predictor of the outcome of the presidential election. Kick in a few more dollars to the campaign, and get back to work on those letters! :-)


See, now you pass it on.

My money is on Edwards. He has all the Clinton charisma but I get the sense there is no intern on her knees under the desk.

I like Edwards a lot. However, I fear this has more to do with the fact that he looks like a young (and alive) John Ritter than anything to do with his stances.
