So who will win in Iowa?

MoonHowler

Place your bets here.  Who will win the Iowa Caucus?  What happens to the losers?  I am not sure how this all factors in to the final product.  Steve, how does this work?

How much do good looks have to do with elections now?  I know that no one wants to be thought of as that superficial, but how do you turn off that impulse to not pull the lever for the person who is most pleasing to the eye.  And speaking of eye candy, which candidate is the best looking?  Michele Bachmann shouldn’t count because she is the only female and she is an attractive woman.  Her husband is a lucky man.  (MEOW)

What topic will be considered the most important to voters?  Immigration, employment, war, economy, values, abortion?

Is anyone offended by the amount of money spent just on this mini campaign or any campaign in general?

Who will drop out after Iowa?

Colonel Davis speaks frankly about President Obama and Gitmo

Some things just have to explain themselves.

Colonel Morris Davis speaks with RT.com:

“The slogan “Close Guantanamo” sounds fairly simple. Actually following through and doing it is a much more difficult process,” he said.“Guantanamo is still open, the military commissions have resumed and in my view the president just didn’t have the balls to follow through with doing the right thing.”


 

Interview on RT about Guantanamo, indefinite detention, and the drone program.

So, is Colonel Davis spot on?  Did President Obama learn more information or does he simply lack the …nads?  I want to think he learned things were harder once one became president than  during a campaign when the decisions aren’t real. 

Are issues of war always that cut and dry?  My guess is that things look easier from the outside than from inside, when you know all the facts and what you have to work with.  Take Harry Truman for example.  How would you have liked to have been that poor bastard?  He knew nothing about the atomic bomb.  Here he was FDR’s vice president.  He knew NOTHING about this weapon that he had to make the final decision to drop. 

Harry Truman always seemed like the practical sort from what I have read. But can you imagine he didn’t know about the atomic bomb?  Churchill knew there was such a thing but our own vice president did not.  What was FDR thinking?
