    Iowa isn't a true representation of this country.

    I'd love to see the demographics, how many people from each race voted.

    Iowa is a strange place. Apparently one is either uber liberal or ultra conservative. I mean look at the governor Terry Branstat is an evangelical the conservative and Tom Harkin was left of Lenin. Both were elected in Iowa.

    Like any state you see in places where people are clumped together in cities, generally vote democrat and then the backwoods vote republican. But there aren't any really large cities in Iowa, the biggest is Des Moines with 207,000 people, and next is Cedar Rapids with 128,000, then Davenport with a little over 100k, no other eclipses the 100k mark. Iowa is just Iowa, and by no means a snapshot for what's left to come, you may as well hold the first primary on Mars.

    It will be interesting to see who drops out after New Hampshire. I'm guessing fiorina, huckabee, and santorum will all be out before Super Tuesday. Maybe Kasich and Christie too.

    It matter though because if 1 black guy and 1 Mexican voted and 250k white people, how are you supposed to get a true sense of what the electorate is thinking? Demographics matter, shitty or not, they do.

    Christie needs to drop, I just hope no one is close when he does, that's definitely going to be an OSHA recordable.

    The question is when Christie, Suckabee, Kaisich, Sanitarium and Fiorina drop out who will their support go to?

    Depends on the order I would think. Eventually filter to Bush and then Rubio would be my guess or Rubio then Bush

    I gotta think Rubio mostly. No one likes trump second best. You either love him or hate him. Not quite the same wiht cruz but he does turn a lot of people off.

    The things that turn me off to Rubio and Cruz is when they say shit like God's law comes first. Well, that's actually what Islamic Terrorists believe. What the fuck? Why is it so hard to understand that man's law trumps God's law in this country.
