Impossibly Small and Over-Hyped Circus In Town
Reality Check: A total of 119,188 people - 4% of the population of Iowa, .04% of the U.S., and less than half as many as fit in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway - took part in the last Iowa GOP caucuses. Another way to look at it: the Occupy protesters arrested at various caucus events are likely more representative than the people voting in them.
