The Headline That Should Have Been

IOWA VOTERS DIVIDED ON WHO SHOULD LEAD COUNTRY

Anything other than that dismisses the votes of the majority of Iowa caucus participants.

Two things are crystal clear from the Iowa caucus yesterday. A three-way Democratic split demonstrates that Iowans are in some disagreement over which specific candidate should be the nominee, but the nearly 2:1 Democrat:Republican caucus turnout and the fact that Hillary, the 3rd place Democratic vote-getter received nearly twice as many votes as the leading Republican candidate, Huckabee, leaves little doubt as from which party Iowans think the next president should come.
