Well, the dog and pony show that is the Republican primary caucus in Iowa is mercifully over. Onward they go. But before they move on, you should visit The Iowa Where No Candidates Come, by Charles Pierce (h/t Meteor Blades). The money quote:
What Mitt Romney said in Iowa this afternoon: "As far as I'm concerned, somebody who's fallen from middle class to poverty, in my opinion is still middle class." What the director of an Iowa homeless shelter said this afternoon: "When some of the folks who were middle-class slipped down, it shoved some of those who were just hanging on into us."
