Yes, the whole Iowa breathless frenzy is growing old. I think it’s a creation of the media. Someone raked in the multiple millions spent on this idiotic race. As always, follow the money.

Iowa has done all it could to support the quasi-institution of its position in the electoral calendar, because sure, it's good for Iowa. No matter who you are, getting to center your political concerns for the whole country is a big deal, and yes, the cash injection to the local economy is nice.

The only problem with it is that it's always Iowa. Iowans are Americans themselves, they don't need to represent anyone else - but so are the people of every other state.
