For weeks and months, MSNBC and other cable networks have been covering the caucus in Iowa. When it is all over, very little is settled. There is no clear front runner. There may be more questions now than before the caucus took place.

But to listen to the political pundits in the last several weeks, one might think this was an earth-shaking event that was about to change the world. In the end, very few people participated and it is very different from a primary. The voters seemed to change their loyalties every time the wind changed directions. On the day of the caucus, it was blowing in the direction of Rick Santorum. He was probably "Tebowing" back stage? Thank God and Greyhound they're gone.
