Bring Back The Smoke Filled Rooms

Gingrich Surges Ahead In Iowa! Why the hell should this mean anything to me? I have exactly zilch in common with the good citizens of Iowa. Unfortunately the Iowa primary will be a factor in the Republican  presidential nomination. I could say the same about New Hampshire - I hardly speak their languge but they insist on speaking for me. I yearn for the days of the smoke filled rooms. They were far more democratic than the sham of caucuses and primaries. The nomination is all about politics and politicians should pick their nominee. Sorry Tea Party but I can't wait for the party to be over.
