The Iowa Caucuses

To steal the whole Seinfield thing- A caucus about nothing. That produces nothing.

Or- if you're a more literary bent- MacBeth (scene 5/act5)
...That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.


Because after all is said and done, and the winner is announced, and the delegates go to the convention- none are bound to vote for the winner in Iowa.
