Buzz 60: Gingrich to win Iowa caucus and then fade away



Buzz 60 predicts Newt will win the Iowa caucus and then fade away. Rightardia agrees.

First of all a caucus is not particularly democratic. Eash candidate gets their supporters in designated rooms at a specific time and date and a count ensues. The person who get the most supporters out wins.

Rightardia also saw a Science Daily study that indicated the early primaries have about five times the impact they should. Brian Knight and Nathan Schiff found:

Voters in states with early primary races such as Iowa and New Hampshire have up to five times the influence of voters in later states in selcting presidential candidates, according to research by Brown University economist Brian Knight. 

Knight and Schiff added:

"Evidence that early voters have a disproportionate influence over the selection of candidates violates 'one person-one vote' -- a democratic ideal on which our nation is based.
