I bet psychology majors have a great time studying the way that people vote in caucus / primary elections.  For whatever reason, people turn into sheep after the first couple of states vote - often deciding to vote for the person that they think will win, rather than for the person they actually want. 

I mean, nobody is gonna come out and say that they did that…  but just from watching the results and the polls, you can tell that it works that way for a lot of the humans.    For example, Rick Perry had pretty “acceptable” nationwide poll numbers before the Iowa caucus, but when he finished out of the top three suddenly he’s only got two or three percent in some polls.

That means a huge amount of people that were willing to vote for Perry just suddenly decided that “they don’t like him anymore” after his Iowa result.  Did they really stop liking him, or were they just afraid to vote for someone that might not be able to win?

In my opinion, when the person you truly want to win is down, that’s even more reason that you should vote for them.  A candidate like Mitt Romney…  right now he doesn’t need any more support to win New Hampshire, so don’t throw your vote in his direction just because you think “your guy” can’t win.  That’s wasting your vote.  Stand your ground, vote for who you really want. 

Also, I got tired of dicking around with the crappy video capture device that’s running the webcam right now, so I found a higher resolution one on eBay for eight bucks…  heh…  so soon it should be better.
