Re: role of Iowa and New Hampshire: Mick has put it perfectly. Can't add a thing.



On a topic alluded to earlier:

It seems fashionable on Mudcat now to bash "the media" over Iowa coverage.

1) I understand the Register's prediction on turnout and Obama's win was just about on the money.

2) It's pointed out that Clinton did not do as well with women as predicted. But the predictions I read had to do with older women, not women in general. And here the predictions were also borne out: the over-65 group of women did in fact go for her.
