I want a do-over of Iowa.
Let's go back to eight candidates and rethink this thing.

There. I got that off my chest. Now I'll go work in the yard.

1. As an Iowa caucus goer, my response
NO - we picked the right person and we know them all better then almost anyone else since they practically lived here for a year before the caucuses.

4. Iowa was prescient- they got it right.
The state of Iowa fanned the flames of a very legitimate Obama campaign. Kudos!

I don't think this covers Hillary's feelings toward Iowa though.

3. First you have to get rid of your undemocratic caucus system
And have a fair vote next time.

7. I agree. Delegates from caucus states shouldn't be seated at the Convention. The caucus
system is totally undemocratic.

The vast majority of people living in those states are unable to vote with a system like that in place.

8. Funny - the Democrats in the caucus states seem to like their process just fine
So who is anyone outside of those states to decide that their way is wrong?

6. Oh please, no. I can't take any more of this primary season!
It seems like it has lasted about 20 years already. I vote for limits on the length of the primary season.
