Iowa primary 2012
Wow, things are close in the Iowa primary - both Romney and Santorum have 24.6% so far, with 88% of the votes counted. Paul is a close third at 21.2. I believe the Republican primaries are split this year, not "winner take all" - right? If so, we are essentially at a 3-way tie. I think the 3 candidates are offering radically different solutions to our economic woes - one is a businessman, one thinks the solution lies somewhere in the spiritual / Christian realm (along the lines that gays caused G-d to avert his eyes from America, and the Twin Towers fell - that's my reading of Santorum's viewpoints so far), and the third thinks that complete deregulation is the way to go. Looks like Iowans are split exactly into thirds each way. How do you feel?
