I'm wondering about the absentee votes, do they have those in this caucus?

I'm pretty sure you have to go and show up in person and then after speakers stumping for the various candidates they take a show of hands. So it is kind of hard to fudge the voting results at the local level. Then those results are taken to the county and then the state where they can be doctored up and have been in the past according to some pretty convincing sounding sources. I hope they don't manage to get away with it this time.

Winning Iowa is no guarantee of victory in November - Breaking News - MiamiHerald.com (http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/12/31/2568922/winning-iowa-is-no-guarantee-of.html - broken link)
Dominated by evangelical activists, the Iowa caucuses tend to be better at establishing losers — fourth place or worse usually kills a campaign — than winners.

Romney, as wishy washy as he is, could beat Obama, IF he avoids McCain's mistake of choosing an absolute idiot (again, so many to pick from) for a running mate.
Then in that case, don't shove your NDAA/Patriot Act crap in my face when I make my one-way ticket departure.

Sure it is. I'd wager you have zero experience in the field, little formal education, and just believe things you read on the internet if the catch your fancy. Standard tin hatter conspiracy nut, all expert from reading a few web sites, telling others they are naive. What color bricks do you lay for a living up there in Alaska?

I guess the definition of "quack" to you is anything that isn't MSM endorsed and government backed. Certainly you don't do any of your own research and come up with any of your own ideas and anyone who does to you is "childish".

No, I'd say being rejected and mocked by the scientific and medical communities would suffice. Note I can't say rejected by his peers because they aren't, your hero has a degree in communications so he's neither scientist or doctor. But hey if you choose to cast your trust in health matters to a guy with no medical credentials or training and believes cancer should be cured with non-drug therapy then have at it. I reject it and am happy to label idiots who subscribe to it as rubes.

Yeah I'm sure you believe looking at youtube videos all day to post here is what you consider "research" and forming your own ideas. Hey post some more videos for us about the chem trails, the evil electric meters, the poisonous fluoride, the dangerous vaccines, the quack cancer cure heroes you worship. Enlighten us, oh my youtube warrior.
