Iowa Caucusses

Today is the Iowa Caucusses, the first stage in deciding the Democratic candidate for the next Presidential election. My favourite candidate is Howard Dean, whom Zogby polling shows to be in second place (but is apparently doing well in early exit polling). My hope is that (a) a lot of people will vote (this country really needs a population who are ready to get off of their apathetic behinds!), and (b) Dean will get the candidacy. If (b) fails, I hope that his grass-roots movement finally makes it clear to young Americans what us PoliSci geeks have known all along: the only way to exact change is to get out, vote, and make your dissaffection known publically.

Time to do some work.
