The Iowa caucuses, as you know, are part of the political party ‘housekeeping’ that is required in a free democracy. Every state has caucuses (or equivalent meetings) to organize political parties. Not every state uses caucuses to select presidential candidates, and neither does Iowa.
The non-binding Iowa caucus presidential preference vote isn’t going away because Iowa would be willing to take a delegate penalty (as Florida does) to keep advertising dollars coming in.
People need to grow up and understand the presidential preference vote at the Iowa caucuses doesn’t really mean anything on an official level.
The whole caucus process ought to eventually have the national convention delegation reflect delegates that respect the vote on caucus night. What we have now is a total co-opting of the process and Ron-freaking Paul in the running to have a majority of Iowa’s delegation to the national convention. That is so freakin’ wrong. I don’t have to leave the Iowa Republican party... it left me.
