Politics - The Iowa Caucuses
Maybe it should be, "What's the matter with us?" in that we attach so much credence to this event...
John Fund wonders in the Wall Street Journal:
"What's the Matter With Iowa?"
"The caucuses are anything but a Norman Rockwell exercise in small-town democracy.
The trouble with the Iowa caucuses isn't that there's anything wrong with Iowans. It's the bizarre rules of the process. Caucuses are touted as authentic neighborhood meetings where voters gather in their precincts and make democracy come alive. In truth, they are anything but."
