However, it's so idiotic how friends and neighbors rig a caucus in Iowa corn country by having people move from one corner of someone's living room to stand in another corner so that their neighbor can go to the convention too, even though s/he has no intention of voting for the person they just stood for. (I have to take a breath now.) I especially don't care who the good people of New "Hampshuh" think should still be standing when it's my turn to vote. Please let me do my own heavy lifting thank you very much. Huck is just doing what every politician has to do until the system is changed.

Iowa is the geographical equivalent of Tantalus. You are in Iowa, it seems like things should be fine and dandy, but you have this constant hunger for something that you can't identify. Iowa offers you everything you need to live, most of it tasty, but still you hunger and long for more. New Hampshire? Never been there. I've been close to New Hampshire but never crossed the state line. So I won't comment. I will say this, I've been to Hampshire but I have not been to New Hampshire. New Hampshire is far more accessible and less costly to visit. But still, I have not been but have been to its more expensive namesake. That says something...I'm not sure what it says, but it says something. I'm all for the early primaries being in these states. Why? Because I don't want all these goobers coming to Arkansas and clouding up the airwaves with commercials and robodialing us to death. Let the Yankees endure that. Let them take the punishment and weed a few of them out. I don't want Ralph Nader calling me at suppertime and disrupting my reruns of Alf. No, give me Alf and let others wrestle with Nader. I don't care if it is New Hampshire and Iowa or Ohio and New York that takes the brunt of the primaries. Just keep them far, far away from here. I have a theory about Iowa.
