Should Iowa change from the caucus method to decide on a presidential canidate and go to a primary election? A person such as myself,who has no political clout, can not get a word in edgewise or say at the caucuses. In most cases, the organizers have been rude. To them, they have already decided who they what, so any opinion besides their own doesn't matter. At least with a primary, my one vote will actually count, not by much, but would count.

Politically speaking, is it safe to say that what happens in Iowa stays in Iowa? I don't see too the Iowa caucuses spreading their influence out to the rest of the campaign up to the election.

Do You Agree That The Second And Third Tier Candidates With 10% or Less Votes Quit After Iowa Caucus Election? Is not enough for the ones who draw 1% quit after Iowa? Already they have satisfied their vanity by staying too long!! RTO Bill Clinton was viable first tier candidate all the way through mind u. The second and third tier candidates are one digit folks. Bill Clinton was never single digit candidate! Sally, probably, if some one keep getting 1% or 2% after New Hampshire he should quit. No need for such clutter. Incidentally Repuk Duncan Hunter less than 1% candidate is protesting he is not invited to Fox debate before New Hampshire. Fox just said they do not have enough podiums. Just, if some one get 1% he wants to be sure? As I was inquiring and as I thought some ones will drop? This what happened on the Dem side! Iowa's results tightened the Democratic field — Sens. Joe Biden and Christopher Dodd dropped out shortly after the outcome was clear Thursday night. How about the Repuk side? no body yet.

American election? Why have some states like New Hampshire and Iowa voted earlier than the others? Isn't it fairer for the candidates to have all 50 states vote on the same day?

What you do if a nuke went off in Iowa the day of the primary, and Dubya called off the election...? ....and declared marshal law over the US, and started nuking the first country he & the media decides to blame? "The president has no authority to do any such thing.", oh dear Crabby- have you seen ANYTHING he's done these last few years? Not being allowed to do something is Dubyas pet peeve, and he doesn't let it stop him. It's not legal for the president to start a war (without declaring it first), without approval from the senate. He'd get away with being the one who pressed the button to detonate the nuke... Barbara- Under marshal law he would have FULL control of the media.
