Huckabee pulled in 60% of the vote there in 08 from this base ....Santorum may only pull 30% of that group. So...not impressive.

the Iowa GOP was overrun by the Bible thumpers in 2005 (or there abouts). They are a fring element running a tradition that is way past relevant.

This group base goes to Caucus like they go to church....they run off anyone else not of their group...bullies actually. The Caucus format is perfect for them.
