The time has come for the Iowa Caucus'. The media is in a frenzy and releasing poll after poll showing Clinton leading over Obama, the Republican Jimmy Carter leading Romney, and vise versa. But will all this matter is a race that is neck and neck. Only 2 presidents in the history of the Iowa Caucus' have eventually gone on to win the presidency; Jimmy Carter, and George H.W Bush. The Iowa Caucus and all other caucus' are outdated and elitist.
The Caucus system represents a 18th and 19th century political system. Can anyone honestly believe that a bunch of overfed corn farmers in Iowa will determine the next president? Or a bunch of drunk tax evaders in New Hampshire? In this age of the Internet why do we still operate under this prehistoric system? Why do we not have an online poll for the primary elections? Or why do we not set up polling booths for an online election? Does the rest of the country not matter? Is Iowa and New Hampshire really representative of the demographic of America? I mean where is the outcry from the ACLU and the champagne Liberals? Iowa's demographic is 92% white. New Hampshire's 96%. Does this truly represent America? Come on! Where is the liberal outcry of equality and social justice?
