So apparently there are only 120 thousand republicans in Iowa?
Does anyone else think there is something wrong with those numbers? Iowa has a population over 3 million.
@ screen name... yes I did.. notice I DID say something seems wrong with those numbers... as in I expected them to be higher.

Not every Republican goes to the caucus. They are long, drawn out processes that a lot of people don't like to go to.

Two things:
1) Do you really think that every registered Republican in Iowa goes to the Iowa caucus? If you say yes, check the phone book for brain surgeons or psychiatrists.
2) Not every from Iowa is Republican.
Edit: POS Mexican- There are 3,046,355 people living in Iowa, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. However, 727,993 people are under 18 (which makes for none of them voting except the ones who have become 18), and there is a semi-strong Iowa Democratic Party, plus Third-party members and Independents. Also, take into account that not everyone goes to these things, as most people can give a **** about politics.

The ballots for people who wrote Newt Perry or Ron Romney etc. were discarded. An annalist from KCCI TV in Iowa said he thought that the number of voters should have been about 5,000 higher than it was.
I have quoted it before and will Quote it again.

It's funny, because when you look at the states, Republicans generally own all the sparsely populated ones.. or ones so big that they're bound to have a prevalent population. The cities and largest metropolis are democrat. What else? Oh yeah... the majority of America lives in urban areas. In other words the vote of those sparsely populated Republican states is actually worth more in the election than the vote of a Democrat state.
Simply put, if five Democrats represent one state and one republican represents one state.. their power technically is equal, though one Democrat does not have as much power as one Republican. I'm led to believe there are fewer Republicans than 50% or even 40% if you include moderates.

And you didn't bother to weed out children, illegals, and the majority of people who don't vote at all, before bothering to consider this is merely registered Republicans who didn't say **** all you all.
