Read a piece about how the pollsters got it wrong again with the Iowa caucus.

"Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) pulled off an upset win in Iowa over not only Donald Trump but also the polls, which almost universally showed him behindIn the runup to the caucus, many analysts predicted that lower turnout would favor Cruz, while an influx of new voters would augur a Trump win. But instead, Monday's voting brought both record turnout and a victory for Cruz."

Not particularly thrilled with the outcome—I think Cruz is even less desirable than Trump—but glad to see that once again the "experts" are proven wrong. (I'm glad to see that happens to my fellow experts as well as it often does to me.)

The caucus itself doesn't distress me because it's the very beginning of the candidate bouts. The results do teach me about Iowa and its people. Iowa and me would not be a good fit.
