Ever wondered why we call early voting in Iowa a caucus, but in New Hampshire we call it a primary? Check out this article from the Washington Post. For politico geeks like me, it will make you wish you were from some small unknown Iowa town...like Pella, for example.
It really is fascinating how personal these early voting procedures can be.

Um, I know you aren't bagging on Iowa now. Because that is where I live...only in a big city - Dubuque. So for some political excitement involving your main man, you should head over to our blog. It will not disappoint.
I hate to leave comments on your political posts because really I don't know much about politics but with this post I had to ask if you heard about the story on NPR where a reporter went back to the people that Clinton and Obama met in Iowa. The link is http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16099751
Obama is way more my pick over Clinton (if I was voting Democrat). My follow up question is, will you vote for Clinton if Obama doesn't make it? She seems like such a lying sleaze.
I will check out that link and respond. As far as voting goes, will you vote for a democrat depending on who gets the republican nod? The republicans don't have a very attractive pool of candidates this time around. I will not vote for Mitt Romney, because as a Mormon, I can't handle the constant scrutiny of the religion with every political move. I don't like the prophet being discussed in concert with dirty Washington politics-- to any degree. I wouldn't vote for him even if he was a democrat. I also can't express how badly I believe it will effect the church internationally for the head of US foreign policy to be a Mormon.
Obama is my hope and my dream--I don't and can't think about any one else. I am not be overly dramatic at how devastated I would be IF he doesn't receive the democratic nomination for president.
Well, did you read it???
