The name of this post is the margin between the Winner of the Iowa Caucuses, Mitt Romney, and the First Runner Up, Rick Santorum: EIGHT VOTES. It doesn’t get much closer than that, folks, and with a margin of only 8 votes, the knee-jerk reaction is assume that the Momentum of the Santorum Campaign may [...]
More...Tomorrow is the day that it finally begins…the day of the Iowa Caucuses, or, as Rush Limbaugh calls them, the “Hawkeye Cockeye.” Unlike Florida, where our elections are held with early and absentee voting, the Primaries in Iowa use an older, more PERSONAL system of Democracy, where individuals LITERALLY gather to support their candidates.
