Iowa:  2,982,085

New Hampshire:  1,314,895

  1. To me, it reads as if he was talking about the number of caucus-goers… which was in the hundreds of thousands, not millions. I’ve never heard of mayors being “elected” through a caucus though.

    That said, comparing total populations isn’t apples to apples since not everyone in a given population is a partisan with a declared party preference.

  2. Also worth pointing out … there were 235K caucus goers in Iowa.

    In 2004, there were about 225,000 voters in the Democratic primary.

    Iowa’s caucus turnout is now roughly equivalent to low levels of turnout in an actual presidential primary.

  4. Come on everybody–it’s just something to say. What are the Clintonistas going to say? “Wow, we got our asses thumped in Iowa–I’m embarrassed and worried that Hillary might lose the election?”

    …Well, she could 9/11 start talking 9/11 about her experience 9/11 and how it has 9/11 prepared 9/11 her for higher 9/11 office, or something like that.

    (Is it just me, or does Bill looked PO’ed beyond all get out? Last night and still today, the smiles look very forced. Maybe I’m just biased.)
