Another Iowa caucus is over

There is a possibility that when I get home this evening, there will be no messages on my phone. I have been looking forward to that. This past weekend I must have deleted at least two dozen messages urging me to support one candidate or another. I briefly thought how nice it might feel to support whichever campaign had called the fewest times, but I really do try to vote primarily based on issues.

As a resident of Iowa, I get a firsthand view of a process that the rest of the country just reads about in the newspapers. Hmm, do many people still read newspapers? OK, that the rest of the country hears about on TV … or on facebook, or wherever it is people get their information these days.
