Iowa shows support (if not enthusiasm) for Romney

[M]

What is this article? It's a fluff piece. It quotes maybe five people for anecdotal evidence of the mood in Iowa.

Why can't they run another gosh durned POLL in Iowa already? The truth is, nobody knows what's going on there right now.

Welcome home, M.

In case nobody else has welcomed you back home so far.

Thank you!

Every 4 years, I get drawn back. Been posting irregularly for eight years now, and counting!

Reporters are bored with the Cain bubble and "serious" speculation about new entrants is over. They don't know what else to talk about.

(Of course, they could discuss Romney's recent foreign policy speech, or better yet, they could investigate what members of Iowa's political establishment are saying. And some are. But articles like this, which do crop up at slow points in the campaign, are unfortunately common, and aren't really worthy of much discussion or attention.)

Or they could conduct a poll!
