This is exactly right.  Same with New Hampshire and all of the other early primary states.

Winning Iowa sets the tone that you are in the lead.

That's about it.

After we take control of our state Senate today, we should have suppressors allowed next year. Only holdup last year was 1 fucking Democrat. Fuck Hogg.

As a coonass that lost his mind and lived in Ankeny for 6 years...that description is very good.

 






Great people, excellent work ethic, family oriented...there are only 5 bad things about Iowa.  November, December, January, February, and March.  Winter is horrid...not seeing the sun for a month made me a very mean SOB.

Since the Iowa question was answered, how did the first Tuesday of November end up being election day?

That and first primary.



One of the best states we've got for being purple. Be happy IA's setting the tone and not NY or CA, which probably could make a good argument for why they should (CA has the largest pop/economy in the country by far for instance). I think everyone can agree on IA, while most other states would be more partisan and wouldn't give as good an indication of how the national candidates would do in the general election.

Damn straight.  Nothing against Iowa or New Hampshire, but our primary system is fucked in to a cocked hat.
