Just got rid of caucuses. I don't think we're talking apples to apples here.

In Classical Athens, women were not permitted to participate in public life, had no legal personhood, and were usually considered property. There were a few exceptions, but for the most part, life for women in Ancient Greece really, really sucked.

Well, let's see... Hillary 2016, Obama 2008, Kerry 2004, Gore 2000... gotta go back to 1992 when Iowa Dems went with favorite son Tom Harkin instead of Bill Clinton. The Iowa GOP has a much harder time picking the winner.
