Diner Discussion: Republican Iowa Version
I can't believe I'm actually linking to them, but one of the Swamp Things actually put up a post that got my attention. But only for this one line:
Immigration dominated the questions Romney got in Waterloo, suggesting the issue--one on which McCain is at odds with the Republican base--still has a lot of resonance. And I didn't hear a single question about Iraq, except from reporters. When I went around and talked to people--randomly, and an unscientific sampling, to be sure--I heard a lot of resentment toward the putative frontrunner from the kind of very conservative Republicans who tend to dominate their caucuses.
This is fascinating if true. I'm not surprised none of the Republican anti-democratic party members want to talk about the war, but I'm left wondering how this can be used to our advantage. No serious thoughts, just a point in the campaign to keep in mind, as well as expressing the belief that we should monitor future gatherings of primary voters, to see what else makes them uncomfortable.
