I am asking this question in general. Why is Iowa a big deal?
When I heard that Ron Paul was doing well there, it immediately came to mind that Iowa should be no litmus test for the rest of the country.
Conservatism would be big in Iowa, so that may explain the Santorum deal since he is staunchly pro-life.
But also part of that landscape is bigotry, particularly unique to Iowa, which explains Ron Pauls popularity.
Iowa is second in KKK membership only to Mississippi. Iowa ACLU are the ones who had it out for R’ Rubashkin, and to throw the book at him. Hence, Ron Paul’s popularity out there.
Why DO we look to Iowa for anything?
The America voter is very fickle and will be greatly influenced. But, between now and the convention, a lot can happen, and always does. Ya’ year that Donald? lol
