Political thought to ponder

Iowa goes first in the selection of a nominee for president.  That's the way it should be.

In 2008 Mitt Romney spent $10,000,000 in Iowa and got 30,021 votes.  That works out to $333 per vote.  Had Romney said, "I won't campaign in Iowa but I'll pay $200 for each person who comes on caucus night to support me" he would have have 50,000 votes and won the Iowa caucuses.

It is no wonder Mitt's crew is wondering what is the best strategy for this election cycle.

  1. Better Mitt than Michelle. I wish she would stop letting people know that she is a native Iowan. Then again, I am SO lucky to live in the newly formed district of Steve King. He makes Michelle sound normal.
