	Jonah Goldberg on Congressional Black Caucus on National Review Online
		The caucus lives in a fantasy in which it is the "conscience of the Congress." Immune to the sort of scrutiny that many other groups receive, it has benefited from the soft bigotry of low expectations for decades.
		The Congressional Black Caucus and its sundry enablers are the intellectual heirs of Moynihan's critics.
		But the caucus has failed to provide the morally serious leadership — the kind that builds on the historic social conservatism and self-reliance of African Americans —; that is sorely needed.

	Iowa caucus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since 1976, the Iowa caucus has been the first indication of which candidate for President of the United States would win the nomination of his or her political party at that party's national convention.
		While the Iowa caucus has been the first such caucus each year in the United States for a century, it came to national attention only in 1976, when obscure Georgia governor Jimmy Carter won the most votes at the Democratic caucus.
		The Iowa caucus is less-binding than the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary because Iowan caucus-goers elect delegates to county conventions, who, in turn, elect delegates to district and state conventions where, ultimately, the national convention delegates are selected.
