Iowa....Polled Cacus?

Posted by Zacharaih Roberts January 4, 2008 03:25 PM

As I reflect on the Iowa Caucuses held yesterday I find myself feeling a little put off by the process. Not only are the rules for the Iowa democrats confusing, but they also seem to weed out ALL competition other than the main big name's in the election. True living in a place like New Hampshire or Iowa, you do get the privilege (some would call it a curse though) of reviewing all the possible candidates very in a light that most of the nation will not see or get until the general elections.

This being said, I still feel that here in New Hampshire we in the Democratic party (though this also still applies to our Republican friends across the aisle) still have the burden of almost dictating whom the nomination will go to, or at least how the rest of this primary season will play out. It is my feeling that if Obama does take New Hampshire that will be the beginning of the steam roller effect, (the same with Huckabee). Though should another candidate pull New Hampshire then the election is very likely to stay rather heated till Super Tuesday. I look forward to seeing how this plays out, as well as casting my vote and making my voice heard here in New Hampshire.

About Primary voices The Boston Globe asked Democrats, Republicans and independents in three communities to blog for us as they decide who will get their vote in New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary. The Democrats are from Henniker, the Republicans from Kingston and the independents are from Nashua.
