swangin and bangin:
i was watchin some television today
and i seen all the president wanna be's in Iowa.


why the fuck do they care about some little state like that?  shouldnt they be fuckin with the big boys like texas, california, NY, and other big states? instead of wastin major money and time in those small states.

and that ron paul dude was hella losin, some other white dude was on top.
i still havent registered to vote yet cuz i dont know politics, but i found that interesting that they spent millions to plan and goto fuckin iowa

Javier:
It's good that it starts in these smaller states because it gives a chance to candidates that do not have the money or star power to build momentum.  Prime example is Huckabee winning today.  Romney spent 20x more than Huckabee and still lost.  If California would have been first, then pretty much the candidate with the most money is going to win.  In fact, if California was first...then Clinton would automatically be the Democratic candidate.  Since it wasn't, it's giving Obama a chance to build momentum and compete with her in the states where she's leading by a wide margin.  The average polls right now in California was 43-20 in favor of Clinton over Obama.  Thanks to Obama winning in Iowa it's going to get closer. And if Obama wins in New Hampshire, it's really going to be tight.   

Tay:
The main reason they attack Iowa is because it is the first primary/caucus out of all of the states, so the winner gets a lot of momentum because people like to jump on the bandwagon of a winner. It also lets some candidates know that they don't have much chance if they can't contend in Iowa, so they drop out and don't have to waste a bunch more money. I saw a news clip about people complaining that Iowa and then New Hampshire can have so much control in the primaries. The other possibilities are alternating and having each group of states get a chance to go first, or having all the states do it at the same time, but it will probably stay the same. Winners in Iowa were Obama and Huckabee, so that puts them in good position. It doesn't guarantee it though, Bill Clinton didn't win Iowa but we know how that ended up.

Javier:
Big reason why Clinton didn't win in Iowa because he skipped campaigning there and concentrated in the other states. Similar to what Giuliani has done this time around.
