Bill Clinton got 3% in Iowa in 1992 before becoming president!

I mean seriously, people. Iowa is nearly a meaningless beginning to a long race that ends after February 5th. We've got a LONG way to go and a LOT of fighting left to do.

Bill Clinton got 3% in the Iowa primaries in 1992 and eventually received the nomination and became president.

Ron didn't need the media to get 10% in Iowa, and he doesn't need the media to gain even more in the rest of the country.

Thanks for some perspective

We need to prepare for New Hampshire.

Why do people always compare this to democratic races? can we get some GOP comparisons?

Iowa is stepping stone and a peculiar state. Considering the demographic, this is a good start for RP.

Bill Clinton ran as a Democrat so this is an irresponsible correlation.

To be fair, 1992 was the year that no one campaigned in Iowa because Iowa Senator Tom Harkin was running. Harkin won the caucus with an enormous percentage. 1992 was the year that Iowa didn't matter.

Still good to know. Thx.

bump. I think it is good that McCain and Thompson tied for 3rd. We want to keep the vote split just a bit longer.
