If I remember correctly, and I can't find it anywhere, only about 100,000 people participated in the Democratic caucus in Iowa. I really don't understand what the view of so few people has to do with much of anything - I did find some numbers on in an AP quote which stated that Iowa has a total of over 2 million registered voters - this out of a total population of 2.9 million people. 100,000 isn't very representative for the numbers involved. If these figures are correct just how much did each vote cost? How much was spent to gain so little?
