terrondt,

but why havent we gotten rid of the caucus iowa nh thing by now?

i think it was on taylor marsh where i heard the suggestion that, at the very least they should have a lottery system, or a rotation of first of the nation, because, as the person said, why should some little place with no other claim to fame outside of being first, have all the pretige and money to the ecomomy, when there are other small states, that have even more electrial votes, and just as much to offer…

im pretty sure iowa started after wwi bc many felt it was a pacifist isolationist state that could keep out war mongering nominees.

skmf12, if history serves me right the iowa caucus arrived in 1972 when george mcgovern came in a close second to muskie. i think it became more famous in 1976 when jimmy carter really learned how to master the caucus system and beat the favorites. i have to admit i do have misgivings about iowa and nh being 1st all the time. my state of connecticuit did not want to be left totally out of the action and moved from it’s traditional march primary to feb 5th.

emjay,

your great, but frankly people in bigger states, dont need little towns to vet anybody for us, we keep up with politics all year round, and with what goes on in the rest of the world…

and actually we dont have a problem making up our minds at the last minute…. we usually know all along who stands for what, and who represents our needs, and we dont remotely like the caucus thing…

infact the reason so many states voted for early voting, is to try and squash the whole iowa, new hampshire first in the nation farce…

not that i dont respect you for the work you do for hillary, i am appreciative. but i think its the same press that builds up obama, that has also built up the iowa caucusus, and if it wasnt for the press we would have ignored the whole state…

and personally, i think this caucus thing is barberic…
i thought it came from the middle ages or something, but someone on this site straightened me out and said it was instituted in the 80’s by someone who wanted to try to steal the elections…
if anyone knows more about that, i would be interested to know how we got the caucuses..

all this i am saying with much respect to you, but i want to be honest about how i feel about it…

Emjay, can you sense how things are going for the various candidates from your involvement with a campaign? I would think that being a campaign worker, going door to door and having real life conversations with people you meet must be revealing. Do you think that people are looking at Hillary more closely now due to the events in Pakistan? Do you have any observations?

Dickerson only knows what we all know…our girl has steadied and gained, BO static or slighly down, and Edwards gaining a bit. I’m tellin ya, Iowans HATE negative bashing moves if they are being done for their own sake. Even I am getting more of the “don’t call me again” responses and once you read a mailing that is crap, it’s natural to think that all 13 !! pieces are crap too.
