If you have read “The Fix Is In“, parts one and two, the following should help show those two opinions have some merit.

The first primary for the GOP was just held in Mid-America, where supposedly, a cross section of american voters reside. A bit over 3 million people live in Iowa and those who are Republicans had neighborhood meetings trying to sell their neighbors on the candidate of their choice for the next President of the United States.

The voting record of Iowans during their primary is less than stellar. Rarely does the winner of the Straw Poll win the Caucus, and rarely does the Caucus winner become the party’s candidate. So, the real winner is the state of Iowa because close to 25 million dollars gets pumped into the state by the candidates. Good for them! As for the voters, who represent the GOP, they leave a lot to be desired. They are normal, they mean well, but they do not think for themselves! They spent a few weeks voting their heart. Then a few weeks using rational decision making. Finally, when the media and the mud slinging began, they tossed away all logic, facts, and loyalty and replaced it with media bias and candidate bashing! These are the folk we place our faith in to tell us who to choose as a presidential candidate?

There were 10 folk running in Iowa and no fewer than 6 have been the people’s choice during the run up to the caucus. Sounds a bit wish-y-wash-y to me.

Let’s hope those who are not the “apple of Iowa voters eyes” have the sense to realize that one caucus a campaign does not make.

The Games have begun.
