Iowa, please don’t do that to us again.
******************
At best Iowa is a 50/50 state as to what you’ll get. The state has gone democrat in five of the last six presidential elections. Bush won in 04 to breakup the run. The US Senators are split, one and one, the House delegation is split 2 each, the state house has maybe three more repubs with the state senate up a couple of dems. It most likely would come down to who has the most appeal be it a dem or rep. Then throw a 3rd or 4th party into the mix and who knows what you’ll get.
That never fails to mystify me, but I believe you're right. One of my sisters went to U of Iowa in the 60s. I love my sister, but to be honest? I don't think she'll ever recover from either one. Grandpa was right about Iowa City.
