Reply #3: I can see your point, but I still disagree about Romney.

Nationally, I think Republicans were luke warm to him, however, many in Iowa were not. For so long he had the lead there and eventually lost it in the final month of the campaign. For all the money he threw at that state, he had no business losing to Huckabee. Yes the fundies helped Huckabee in Iowa, but it was the total lack of ground game there that did Romney in. He didn't have it and it showed. Romney's Iowa problem isn't much different from Clinton's, as I do not believe they understood the state and the way the caucuses worked.
