Heartache: National Review Contributor Calls for End to Iowa Caucuses [Hugh M. Hewitt]

Clearly, any statements made by this fellow are now to be considered skeptically, if at all.

What is this Ramesh Ponnuru fellow so afraid of? Does he not realize that the good people of Iowa (who have placed Governor Romney within 2 points of the lead in their state, no less!) represent America's traditional heartland values? Clearly his employers fellow writers at National Review understand the relevance of Iowans to the American political scene. Why, in their exceedingly good judgement, they published the following magazine so that, before they caucus, every Iowan would have the opportunity to read it. Twice.

I keep a copy on my nightstand. I find it soothing.

Unlike Mr. Ponnuru, I have full confidence that when Iowans head into the snow (in their Mitt-ens, fate she does truly shine upon her chosen acolytes!) to cast the most important votes in America's history, they will do so with their head's held high and their hearts full of joy, warmed by the patriotic fervor that they, and they alone, get to act as the leading vanguard on the Romney wave.

I was tempted to invite Ramesh onto my show today to explain this heresy, but then I remembered something important. Something meaningful.

Jesus was betrayed by a kiss.

Who have you kissed recently, Ramesh?

Because I know who you have kissed-off. And that's Iowa.
