Today the eyes of the nation are turned to the corn fields of Iowa and, while it may not be heaven, Shoeless Joe, it does hold a large amount of significance on this frigid January day. That subterranean rodent of American politics has again clawed its way to the earth’s surface to gaze upon the bright sunlight with its squinty little eyes, looking for a shadow upon the ground to see how much longer the madness will continue.
Happy Iowa Caucus Day!
The race for president is a long and arduous journey, filled with perils – from misspoken words from decades ago to the occasional mistakes along the campaign trail that are massively amplified on TV and radio. Those aspiring to highest office in the land must prepare themselves to be ridiculed and mocked, whether or not they deserve it. They must be ready for unfounded accusations and slanderous chain emails.
It’s certainly not an easy road.
On the Republican side, the frontrunners in the Hawkeye state are Mike Huckabee, whose gaunt, spectre-like visage has increasingly invaded our televisions as of late, and Mitt Romney, who bears a striking resemblance to Bruce Campbell, albeit without the chainsaw for a hand (but that would be really, really cool).
On the Democratic side, Barack Obama seems to be leading the way at the moment. The secondary support of esteemed Congressmen Bill Richardson and Joe Biden should be a help, as well should the allegiance of those Hobbiton residents committed to Dennis Kucinich. Despite her obvious allegiance to the dark lord Satan, Hillary has begun to lag a bit in the polls, but with her cauldron of black magic anything is possible.
At this point, it looks as though Obama and Huckabee will come out victorious today. What do you think will happen today?

That Romney/Campbell joke is hysterical. I’m going to see what I can do with some photoeditting on that today.
