Iowa Caucus Results and Groundhog Day

I'm not sure how they are similar, except they are sharing a day.

Today is Groundhog Day! Yay, the rodent from Punxsutawney is predicting the future of Winter and the arrival of Spring.

Similarly, the people of Iowa are putting their stamp on the 2016 Presidential Election process by trying to predict the candidates from the two major parties who will vie to be the next President of the United States.

Both of the events mark beginnings. One, the beginning of the end of Winter and the other the beginning of the electoral primary season. 

Let's hope both reports are good. An early Spring and competent candidates!

That would be very different, on both counts.
