Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley was just asked on Fox News about national disgruntlement about the caucuses, and whether regional primaries might be better for all. His answer was that only in a system like Iowa’s can an underfunded candidate like Mike Huckabee beat one with big money. And then he added that without the Iowa caucuses “Jimmy Carter would never have been president.”
