KidsPost's Jan. 2 explanation of the election process was well done until it came to telling the difference between Republicans and Democrats.
The Iraq war is not the difference. Many Democrats support the war; many Republicans oppose it.
The difference in brief is the level of government. Democrats believe in large government with persons in government positions knowing what is best for the country and the individual. Republicans believe in limiting government power and in the individual knowing what is best for him or her.

Fuzzy Math
On Jan. 4, reporting the results of the Iowa caucuses, you said, "Sixty percent of Republican caucusgoers described themselves as evangelicals, according to entrance polls. Those voters went for Huckabee over Romney by more than 2 to 1." Meanwhile, you also reported that Mike Huckabee received 34 percent of the total GOP vote. This seems impossible.
