Iowa is NOT insignificant. For about a year we have been hearing from the MSM

that the only meaningful candidates are Clinton and Guiliani. It was only recently that their tune changed slightly

What Iowa said was that perhaps people are getting tired of being told what the "conventional" wisdom is

It is still a very open election, but after 8 years of bush getting practically everything he wanted rubber-stamped by Congress, I sense people are starting to get pissed

The arragance of ABC not allowing Kucinich to participate in the Democratic debates, or faux not allowing Paul to participate in the republican debates only demonstrates how manipulative the MSM is

It is amzaing that after the Iowa primary where Edwards came in second, he is practically being ignored by the media. Do they feel that threatened by him?

Something is very wrong when the media determines what we should or should not hear

Ron Paul received more money than any of his republican counterparts in the last several months, and faux won't let him participate in the repuke debates.

NH will be quite interesting, because that probably represents where the independents stand in this country, and the independents will determine the next election I believe.

1. What Iowa says is that the MSM gets republi-con talking points from

right RW think tanks who are trying to frame public perception of the candidates and influence the nomination process.

It is good that (in Iowa at least) people rejected the RW/MSM spew and are thinking for themselves.

2. They should be worried, and the candidates had better get the message fast

Most of the people, especially the young and independent voters, are going to want direct answers to questions, and those that are vauge and try to have it both ways I think will not win this time
