Iowa's flirtationship with Mitt

[krazen1211]

It has little to do with Mitt and much to do with the Democrats war on whites.

It's the early caucus effect. There was an early hotly contested caucus during the winter and lots of people registered to vote GOP during that period.

Unfortunately this is not true. GOP registration barely budged in fall 2011 and winter 2012. It started climbing heavily in spring 2012.

Not particularly relevant, but the little county in Iowa I am familiar with rather intimately now, Madison County, in the most recent primary, just went massively GOP.  Latham was getting 4 times as many votes as Boswell (even in the City of Winterset, which is the most Dem part of the county; in the old days, the county seats in rural America tended to be the most Pub, but those days seem to be over), and the whole GOP ticket was swamping the Dems by 2 to 1 margins or more. Madison is a lean GOP county, but it seems to be trending Pub rather substantially. I suspect it is more than the Dems just not showing up to vote.

That is the case across the entire state of course.

In Polk County Tom Latham got twice as many votes as Boswell. Conservatives in Iowa are enraged by recent Democrat policy and ready to vote!


The description of Obama as a red is strangely accurate.
