++In his previous and delightful incarnation, Martin Longman used to speak political truths with wit and snark. Today. read is a must "The Iowa Caucuses Are A Fraud."
++Longman reminds us that the Iowa GOP Caucus only suggests the candidate that the Iowa Republican party "might" vote for at the convention. Last time,Longman recounts, how Romney seemed to win and that propelled him into New Hampshire but Iowa found the missing votes and Rick Santorum won.
++Longman spends time laying out how the Iowa Caucus had an affect on future votes and points out that Santorum came close in Romney's home state of Michigan.
++He brings us up to date on how Iowa claims it has gotten its act together by purchasing new software from Microsoft.
Another Iowa like 2012 would doom them.
++But Longman's article is an antidote to the Iowa hype. It is after all a popularity contest.
