My caveat is offered before I make this next statement -- I am delighted that the former Gob'nor of Florida has decided not to go door-to-door in Iowa looking for the Straw Men in their Straw Poll. Iowa's early primary on February 1st is bad enough - but this straw poll is strictly a fund raiser for the Iowa GOP and gets front page ink way out of proportion to it's significance. Although, worthless as it is - it has made or broken candidates dreams in the past,
21st Century Voting --- Iowa Style |
It should be noted that only 3 of the 6 that won the straw poll went on to win the Republican nomination..... Seems like a coin flip would do....
Instead of stringing these primaries out over the first six months of the year -- why doesn't the Party pick on National Primary Date and have every state that wants a primary - to conduct it on that date.. After all, it's a national election in November, why not a national primary in June?'
Just askin........
