As we all wait breathlessly for the results of the 2008 Iowa caucus, I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking back to Iowa 2004.
After the dust settled, everyone had a theory as to why Dean lost, and every single one of these theories was argued and discussed across the blogosphere and wherever Democrats and Deaniacs gathered long after the primaries were over.
I thought that it would be interesting to find out how everybody sees it now, from a distance of four years. I didn't much want to include a poll, because I know many people put a lot of thought into this question, and I'd like to hear some of those thoughts. But hey, this is DKos...gotta have a poll!
So, while we wait for the big show to get under way, please share with us your answer to one of the burning questions of the 2004 election cycle:
WHY DID DEAN LOSE IOWA?
I wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts on how the Iowa 2004 experience affects your view of today's caucuses, either...
