Iowa

As a news and politics junkie, I think the US elections are over too quickly. It would be a lot better if the primaries were spread out over 12 months and then the same for the general election. It would be like a Pop Idol Extreme.

However, I'm also fairly sure that not everyone would be that thrilled. I'm guessing that most of America is only barely able to tolerate the wall-to-wall coverage of the Iowa Caucuses. As for the British or Irish populations, the interest has to be even lower.

Of course, Mary McAseeds is from Iowa, so maybe I underestimate the interest?
