Then again, he flip-flops so much, who knows where he stands on any issue:)))<br /><br />60% of Americans are like you, and that's why all candidates move to the middle when they get their party's nominations. The Republican party is really in a bind now - they distrust Romney but they know that he is the one with the best chance of beating Obama come this November. Now only if Chris Christie could lose 50 pounds quickly and/or Michael Bloomberg could turn Republican...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261438457608174618.post-20046377242349530092012-01-08T01:00:49.848+08:002012-01-08T01:00:49.848+08:00To 楊大寶

I didn't realize it until I saw the explanation from the writer himself. I speak Taiwanese, but I didn't bother to make the connection.<br /><br />To Ben,<br /><br />Your question is very interesting. A Wiki item "Iowa caucuses" gives us the answer. It wasn't until 1972 that Iowa caucuses took place this early in the election year. Thanks to some New York Times articles and Democrats' initiative.<br /><br />I'm a social liberal and economic conservative. If I were American, I would be what's called a swing voter. If the focus is on economic issues, I will vote for Republicans; if the social issues come on top (abortion, gay marriage, etc), I'll rally for Democrats. Romney seems votable to me, but I don't know how conservative he is on social issues yet.CCLuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569770663341206042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261438457608174618.post-11041603439553012202012-01-07T14:27:37.735+08:002012-01-07T14:27:37.735+08:00I lived in Iowa for about a year when I was a teen...I lived in Iowa for about a year when I was a teenager. Nice Midwestern people, but I still can't understand why they are always the first primary state. When was the last time that Iowa decided a presidential election? The upcoming presidential election will most likely be decided, again, by the usual suspects - Florida, Ohio, and maybe Pennsylvania or Michigan.<br /><br />I have never voted for a Republican President in my life, but 2012 may be a first for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261438457608174618.post-54777280774215234632012-01-07T08:20:05.983+08:002012-01-07T08:20:05.983+08:00It took me awhile to figure out what "Frozen ...It took me awhile to figure out what "Frozen Garlic" means.
