Its only begun my friend. | Are you completely ignorant about political history, Vague? 1992 was very widely an abberation in primary politics. Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa was running as a favorite son candidate in Iowa, so he won 92% of the vote. Iowa was effectively not a contest in 1992. To say that like it has any relevance just makes you look like you're drinking the kool-aid.
There has never been any candidate who has won fourth place, let alone fifth, in Iowa and come to win the nomination. I mean, he couldn't even beat John McCain or Fred Thompson. The only reason he even beat Guiliani is because Guiliani pretty much defaulted. If he can't bump off Thompson or McCain he ain't gonna win.
