Yea but think about the message this sends to the Conservatives when Bachmann and Romney win in Iowa......is this the Republican ticket for the 2012 Presidential Race? BTW Bachmann is supposed to announce today she is a candidate for President in her home town in Iowa today... You can bet the White House is probably celebrating her announcement with glee... Although Bachmann thinks she can beat Obama because according to her; Obama has been a disaster for the past two and one half years as president..... This ought to get the Liberal Media riled up to say the least.

Bush vs Obama... well Bush didn't have a trillion dollar deficit. Actually, 2009 fiscal year began October 1, 2008, 4 months before Obama took office, was a Bush budget. Both 2008 and 2009 trillion + dollar deficits belong to Bush. 9/30/2009 ~ 1,885,104,106,599.30 9/30/2008 ~ 1,017,071,524,649.92

Personally I think we just need to have one day to vote in the primaries, instead of this long drawn out set-up where the first few states have far too much sway in the outcome. Maybe have a few days where every state votes in order to cut down the field until there are two or three left standing for the final vote.
