Check The Weather
The Iowa Caucuses take place on Monday night. There is no absentee balloting – to be counted you have to show up at the appointed location, at the appointed time, to support your choice for your party’s nominee for President.
The polling gives people jobs, and fascinates political junkies, but it is no guarantee. Right now the weather may determine who wins. It isn’t important how many people say they will support any candidate, the important number is how many people are willing to show up in the cold and wet on a Monday night.
The most consistent voters are the senior citizens, the people who like to drive at night the least. If it is cold and the roads are slippery, a lot of people are going to stay home. The winners are going to be the candidates who can get their supporters to show up.
