The polls are swinging in Iowa as we see which candidate takes the prize and which players will get the shaft. Even if Dean loses, will he take it on the chin and proceed to New Hampshire?
Anyway- they say 100,000 are expected to come out. Of the ~260 million people in this country, that's 0.038% of the nation (or 3.8% of ONE percent, in case you read that figure too quickly).
In other words- WHO CARES?!? This whole story is meaningless....

No matter what happens, the press will spin it as a Dean setback: that makes the rest of the campaign more 'newsy' and interesting.

American, the only thing meaningless around here is you and your stupid ideas.

I thought for sure this would get deleted for its unintended sexual imagery, but apparently it must have some redeeming value I don't see.

American, I disagree with you. It seems the media blows it so out of proportion that the winner will be plastered all over the TV and newspapers around the country. Lots of positive exposure for the winner which with the potential to influence millions of people.
As for making personal attacks on you and not addressing your point (like everyone else on this thread), I will save the name calling tactics for my niece the next time some one calls her a poo-poo head in the schoolyard.

I find it funny to watch all the candidates kiss the asses of a bunch hicks in a state they'll never return too or bother with once the caucus is over.
One thing I am tired of. The press always tryingto SHAME american cause we dont know all the candidates. Why shoudl we pay attention to them? Theyre all a bunch of quitters anyway. In 2 months theyll go fromliek 10 to 3 candiates. So why put the time in now?

It's all about the money. The soft money pours in to whomever wins big in Iowa and New Hampshire.
