Could this be why Barack Obama won in Iowa last night—and why Romney didn't? From an opinion piece in yesterday's New York Times: "... In 2007, the [Hamburg Inn No. 2] served several candidates and their spouses, including Bill Clinton (Swiss, tomato, and green pepper omelet with home fries); Barack Obama (Iowa omelet of ham, hash browns, and American cheese, with sweet-potato pancakes); and Mitt Romney ('It was so crowded,' says [Hamburg owner Dave] Panther, 'that he didn’t have time to eat.')."
