until the republicans realize, hey, we cannot just win and control, for example, the united states senate with all conservatives, the republican party will have a problem. there has to be a greater belief that we have elect republicans, may not be quite like what we want ideologically but fit the mode of voting for republicans. like steve said, he is a democrat and i understand that. i m a republican. i look at the senate circumstances now and maine will be very difficult for republicans to hold. now you have bob kerrey coming back in nebraska. as a result, there is a lot of talk about republicans taking over the senate. now it is going to be a lot higher mountain to climb than it was before this week. in so as a result, you know, you are getting some losses that way. and there are seat throughout the country and no massachusetts senate race is one of them. and a few others in which you are not going to elect a pure
that s the sort of quirkiness of a caucus is that a lot of people, you know, particularly the media gets hyped up about iowa on caucus night but those that s just a beauty contest effectively. it is just sort of okay, check the pulse of folks and how they feel. those delegates won t be awarded until they go to their convention this spring. they have their primary after the fact. yeah. congressman, it is hard to call iowa a beauty contest. point taken. i have a question for you. isn t it really i mean, if you seems to me that this really all boils down to delegates but there is a question of perception as well. if you go back to 2008, for example, look at ohio and look at georgia in the democratic primary contest hillary rodham clinton received more of the popular vote than barack obama did but he got more delegates than she did. happened in a number of places. there was a lot of excitement. i, frankly, like this process because we can you know, who
