Well, in just a few hours, a few thousand Iowans will start to decide the political destiny of eight Democratic political candidates in the Iowa Caucus. Jimmy Carter pulled 30% here back in 76 and the state hasn't been the same since. For an interesting perspective on the Caucus, read this interesting article in the NY Times

One of the real dangers in Iowa is "them Carpetbaggers" coming in to act like they're Iowans just for the election. Kinda like the WCW guys coming into the WWF a few years ago. You all remember how successful they were.

While Dean is THE man out in Iowa, he's behind in the pre-Caucus polls(not that they've ever been right.), and in fact he's behind both John f'n Kerry and Little Johnny Edwards (come on, in Rasslin', we gotta have nicknames) Looks like I was wrong in a previous blog entry. It's probably gonna be Bye-Bye Big Dick Gephardt rather than Little Johnny Edwards. Gephardt, not unlike Slick Ric Flair, is working close to home and he's gotta come in first or second, but right now, it looks like 4th. Ooops.


I really enjoy foreign web sites reporting on some backwater caucus in the Democrat nomination. The Bahrain Daily news says "Democractic race hots up" The Voice of America, in an attempt to sound vaguely PBS-Like, screams "Iowa Voters Bask in Quadrennial Political Spotlight" And the Toronto Star says, about Howard the Duck, "Mad prophet is becoming Democratic `pander-bear'"

I prefer good old American Headlines, like this one. They got it right, anyway. Good old Howie. Watch out for them Rednecks, son
