One week to betrothal
Like a grossly outdated storybook heroine, Iowa voters are busily trying out their signatures with new last names.
"Mrs. Iowa D. Edwards"
"Ms. Iowa D. Clinton" (Relax, it's the 21st Century.)
"Mrs. Iowa D. Obama"
"Mrs. Iowa R. Huckabee"
"Mrs. Iowa R. Romney"
"Mrs. Iowa R. McCain"
...and so on.
Whose engagement will we be waking up talking about a week from now? And why do we care so much?
All jokes about "idiots out wandering around" aside, because I'm certain there are great people in the Hawkeye State, it simply amazes me that the two early states bear such weight in the nomination process. Chronologically, sure, I can sort of see it; but in terms of capturing the will of the entire nation? I just don't, sorry.
