Gephardt leading in Iowa may mean something, or it may mean that this meaningless small state that doesn't even hold a primary ELECTION is just crap. They don't caucus for another couple of months (January 19th) but Dean may finally be scaring the shit out of the rank and file Democrats. If this happens, it would mean the hard core Left would be outnumbered at the caucus level. Actual Elections count everywhere but with Democrats in this chickenshit little state composed of tax payer subsidized farmers and Agri-business on the corporate dole. All they care about is continuation of the ethanol abomination, sugar subsidies (subsidized sugar at 18 cents per pound is the only way farmers can sell corn syrup sweetner to everyone), and government labor unions. A nothing state. No, a Nothing Welfare State. For a primer on farm subsidies go here to my essay titled "Do you Really Care how Many Africans Starve?"
