IOWA: A MICROCOSM OF THE US - NOT!

The graphs below, which were posted by Juan Cole at Informed Comment, show the percentages of the various ethnic voters in the State of Iowa as compared to the percentages of the entire US. The crowd of Republican candidates, which consists of five white men and one white woman, is scrambling for votes in tomorrow's VERY IMPORTANT IOWA CAUCUSES, which Cole labels "Conservative White People’s Primary".

The candidates:

Michele Bachmann
Newt Gingrich
Ron Paul
Rick Perry
Mitt Romney
Rick Santorum

Who will win? From Washington Post Politics:

Over the past few months, Iowa has embraced and then rejected four charismatic front-runners: Rep. Michele Bachmann (Minn.), Perry, Gingrich and pizza executive Herman Cain.

Fickle, fickle Iowans.
