On Thursday, we saw Iowa hold the first caucus of the year. We saw that Obama and Huckabee won the first state in the election. The candidates spent over 40 million dollars on ads on TV. Some candidates even moved their family to Iowa for this one little caucus. Iowa is 5 percent minority and more live in rural communities then the average on the United States. Even tho Iowa is mostly white rural people, we still go and base the presidential election on this small state. As of last night, two democrats have dropped out of the race. In the democrat side, the caucus was different. Everyone would vote once, and whoever didn't have 15% of the vote, their candidate was thrown out and then they had to vote again. That doesn't show who the people really want to vote for. The democrats should do the exact same things as the republicans and just take a straw pole. Well this is just the start of the many primaries, so candidates come and go and different people will win and lose elections. Every time a primary happens, the media coverage will do so much that it will change people's vote as it has done in the past. I just hope everyone here on ProgressiveU can read up on everyone's information and vote for who you want to. Don't just vote for whoever is winning, vote for whoever you fill is the right president for us.
