01.03.2012 Iowa

According to ABC News, "The Iowa caucus has had about a 50 percent 'success' rate when it comes to predicting the nominee, meaning that roughly half the time the winner in Iowa goes on to secure their party’s nomination for president." You know what else has about a 50% success rate (or failure rate if you're a "glass half empty" kind of person)? Flipping a coin.

So who is the real winner of the Iowa caucus? Iowa, the great Hawkeye State, for doing something with 50% accuracy and still managing to be relevant.
