Iowans are pretty good at getting the winners correct?
How many of those Iowa winners got elected POTUS or even the nomination?
Here is the Iowa record:
'72 uncommitted, (lost nomination), '76 (lost nomination), '80 Carter(lost general), '84 Mondale, (lost nomination), '88 Gephardt, (lost nomination), '92 Harkin, (lost nomination), '96 Clinton WON nomination & general, '00 Gore, (lost general), 04 Kerry, (lost general)
So Iowa has ONE WIN from 1972 on.
Personally I don't think that is a great record. I would like to see early primary and caucus states more representative of the general population. Any other thoughts about this record and possibly moving around the early states?
