Iowa Republicans Choose Obama-equivalent Candidates in Caucus

As you probably know by now, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum came out of Iowa in what basically amounts as a tie with Romney taking 30,015 votes and Santorum taking 30,007 votes. Ron Paul came in third with 26,219 votes (although the Fox News article expectedly paints him as an also-ran comparable with Rick Perry's dismal performance of 12,604 votes).

So what does this tell me about Iowa? Iowa Republicans have a thing for big government and against liberty. And considering that the slogan of the GOP for the past 3 years has been "Beat Obama, no matter what the consequences", it looks like the GOP has no problem electing an Obama-equivalent as long as there is an "R" after the name.
