What’s wrong with the Iowa Republican voter?

PLEASE, Iowans, don’t hang that Massachusetts carcass on our party again. Just buy shotguns instead, please.

Not to worry. The Iowa Republican Caucus has NOT been a very good predictor.

Since 1976, excluding any sitting Republican presidents, they selected only one winner: George W Bush in 2000.

76 - Ford, lost to Carter
80 - GHW Bush, lost to Reagan who won
84 - Reagan unopposed
88 - Bob Dole, lost to GHW Bush who won
92 - GHW Bush unopposed
96 - Bob Dole (again — they luv losers), lost to Clinton
00 - George W. Bush, won
04 - George W. Bush unopposed
08 - Huckabee, lost to McCain who lost to Obama
12 - Romney, no recount for Santorum, lost to Romney who lost to Obama
