Okay, let me set new rules for this alternative Iowa Caucus:

1. Nobody is listed on the ballot. All candidates, running or not, are write-in candidates.
2. Candidates may do campaigning, but any valid votes will be write-in votes and vice-versa.
3. In order to win the Iowa Caucus, you must be the only candidate to have >20% of the vote.
4. If more than one candidate has gotten >20% of the vote, then all candidates who have gotten >20% of the vote shall face off in a run-off election.
5. If no candidate has gotten >20% of the vote, then the top five vote getters shall face off in a run-off.
6. In a run-off election, all qualified candidates will be on the ballot; write-in votes won't count.
7. The winner of the run-off shall be the winner of the Iowa caucus.


Now, given those rules, how do you think the following Iowa caucuses wuld have gone?:
2004 Dems
2000 GOP
1996 GOP
1992 Dems
1988 GOP
1988 Dems
