Iowa

be one of the reasons.

Iowa has not always tilted conservative and hopefully it won't stay that way very long. In this country decisions should not be based on ideology.

Iowa was once one of the leading progressive states along with Wisconsin and Minnesota. The upper midwest has produced such progressive as Fighting Bob LaFollette, Hubert Humphrey, Gaylord Nelson and Iowa's own Henry Wallace, Harold Hughes and Tom Harkin.

So don't condemn a whole state because we have one Stinky Steve King. We also have two of the most progressive learning institutions in the country in the U of Iowa and Grinnell.

I myself opposed caucuses in general and favor a rotating first in nation primary system where about ten states of all stripe share the first primary day.

BTW - we gave Barack Obama a huge boost.
