The Iowa butt kissing ends tonight.

I've been avoiding a lot of mainstream media hype of the Iowa caucus. Though I keep thinking about how all the butt kissing by the candidates and their spouses will end this evening and the state returns back to normal by morning. The campaign jets will have been warmed up by the time caucus begin whisking the candidates, staff and news media of to New Hampshire. I imagine the talk in many of cafes will once again turn to corn prices and spring planting. As it should.
