seriously, if Ron Paul wins Iowa (which I don’t think he will) then Iowa should be stripped of it first in the nation status, because they will have made themselves the laughingstock of the US.
I think that both Iowa and New Hampshire should have been stripped of their leadoff positions long ago. In particular, Iowa has a pernicious record of progressive populism dating back decades. This is the state that brought us Henry Wallace, a commie and Hussein Obama, yet another commie.
Personally, I advocate that Tennessee and then Oklahoma ought to displace Iowa and New Hampshire. Both states have a track record of sanity and Conservatism. And they are small enough so that an inordinate amount of money need not be spent to reach the voters. I think that the people of both Tennessee and Oklahoma are much more in touch with authentic American values than either of the two present states leading off the primaries.

With modern communications, I question the whole concept of staggered primaries. Even if there are good reasons for the staggered dates, the states should be rotated. Loaded dice, working as intended.
They should have had their status stripped 4 years ago for starting Obama on his road to the White House.
