The Iowa caucuses are overrated

Powerline's Paul Mirengoff puts into words what I've been thinking (albeit vaguely) this week about the hubbub in Iowa:

A Huckabee win will be meaningless unless he's able to follow it up with a good showings in, say, South Carolina and Florida. Similarly, if Romney wins, he'll still be perceived as in trouble if he loses in New Hampshire a few days later... And after New Hampshire, hardly anyone remembers what happened in Iowa.
