ISU Political Scientist: Campaigns Are A Circus That Don't Matter Much

Iowa gets a breather from the Presidential campaign spotlight. New Hampshire is next and soon South Carolina gets its turn. It's a moveable feast of politics, a royal progress of campaigns. Kerri Milita of ISU's Department of Politics and Government joins Charlie Schlenker to unpack the why of it all. Martin O'Malley is out and Mike Huckabee too...the evening of the Iowa caucuses. Now, Rand Paul and Rick Santorum say they are done. But, Milita says don't look for too many quick dropouts of the remaining candidates who had single digit results in Iowa.
