  iowa: down with the brown

  true- the iowa caucus receives an inordinate amount of attention considering the population:ears of corn ratio.

  But despite the media circus, the non-stop politicking and a system that too closely resembles a swap meet at an Antiques Roadshow...I DIG IT! Like bristol commented- record turn outs, more young people voting though 3.1 million guitar hero's were sold this christmas and iowans getting down with the brown for the first time in history are the real stories of this caucus.

  and on that note- let's take a step back and look at the big picture. no matter how you cut it, this election is shaping up to be one for the books:

  in the red corner we have three candidates that fall far off the white anglo saxon protestant congo line:
  -an italian-american thrice-married catholic
  -"Robo-Mormon" from Stepford, mass. (batteries sold seperately)
  -and the baptist minister Mike "the power of christ compels you to vote for me" Huckabee

  in the blue corner we have two candidates that challenge our ideas about race, gender and confirm the omnipotence of oprah:
  -barack hussein obama. he can balance our budget AND drink the blood of infidels at the same time. (update: also has a mean hook shot)
  -hillary clinton. her vagina gives her super powers. and by 'super' i mean 'SUPER'. and by 'vagina' i mean husband.

  i'm excited and terrified about this election in a way i haven't been in quite some time- maybe ever. all indications are that regardless of who is nominated- more americans will turn out to vote, more young people will get involved and things in washington are about to (fingers crossed!) change.

  true.

  PS- after viewing this picture (see below link) mike huckabee does for charming what lynne spears has done for parenting.
