Campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire
- Share via
All things considered, it is not really that surprising that George was amBushed in Iowa, finishing a disappointing third. Iowa is part of the “Bible Belt,” and Robertson, a former fundamentalist evangelical preacher, thus had a decided advantage over him. I expect Bush to recover and do considerably better in the up-and-coming primaries. And I expect Robertson, who finished second, to soon return to his first love--preaching.
