Caveat Lector: This is my own humble opinion. No need to get angry or offended.

One of the most annoying aspects of the presidential primaries is that apparent undeserved importance of 2 fairly small states, IA and NH.

But I think these two states serve a purpose, that this year is more meaningful for the GOP.

The purpose is to separate the true contenders from the riff raff. Cut the fat, so to speak.

Iowa already killed two campaigns, Paul’s and Huckabee’s.

We’ll see how many will drop out because of NH.

For the Democratic side IA took care of O’Malley. No more fat to cut.

Regardless of the results tonight, neither candidate is dropping out any time soon.

More than showing who will win, IA and NH show who needs to cry uncle.
