Editor emeritus Gilbert Cranberg speculates that the hard-right Iowa GOP platform hurts the caucuses. Not sure about that but it's a nice summary of lunacy: "The party's support for death-bed care for indigents actually is a softening of its position of four years ago that health care is a privilege, not a right..."
Meanwhile The Overated One actually touches on the truth - but only to reject it.
Not once...
While some Democrats dismiss him as a "loser" in a party that rarely gives a candidate a second chance, the crowd of about 100 in the Ness' backyard on Saturday didn't seem dismissive. With polls showing Kerry already running in third place among likely caucus-goers in Iowa, nobody else should be. He came from farther behind than that to win the 2004 caucus fight.
Not twice...
While some experts say Romney's Mormon faith will hurt him with some voters, it seemed to be helping him here Saturday.
but three times:
It's a measure of Romney's dedication to his Iowa effort that he broke away from the "Big Dig" calamity in Boston to keep his commitments in Iowa. Some in Boston thought he should have remained in the state to deal with the issue.
I'm not sure which is the bigger deal killer: the fact that Kerry was such a dull candidate that he couldn't defeat the least popular president since I Am Not A Crook, or the reality that the theocratic wing of the Republican Party considers the Mormon Church a pagan fertility cult. But both are absolute sorry, see ya, non starter deal breakers.
