It’s Iowa. Pat Robertson got 25% of the caucus vote there.
Be careful. John Cole, over at the intemperate Balloon Juice, once predicted Peak Wingnut, but discovered that it does not exist. Turns out, shouting is just what they do, with or without reason. (cf, granite table tops, an essay by Keynes when he was 17 that is anti-Semitic).
