8 votes. This is not a mandate. He out-spent his closest opponent 50 to 1 and the other guy only lost by 8 votes.
He spent a lot of money. I don't think his lack of popularity with Iowa (or the rest of the primary voters nationwide) should be confused with his chances of beating Obama which are reasonably good, and better than the rest of the field. He is a center left Republican operating in a party which is currently pretty far right.
America is not as extreme as the party faithful. Not even close.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
