IMO, Des Moines is the most slept-on city in the country. If I was a major corporation, that would be my first move. I even thought about moving to the area.
Thank you for the post. Powerline, next to FR, is my go to source for anything relevant. Granted, there are only four posters, but they do a terrific job. I would encourage everyone at FR to support Powerline. The best posters in order: Steven Hayward, John Hinderacker, Scott Johnson, and that laggard Mirengoff. Sorry Mirengoff, you need to learn how to be laconic—difficult for a lawyer.
Rural areas are no longer blinded by Urban run Media.
Talk radio and the Internet have freed them from that dependence.
Barack Obama’s Presidency demonstrated to them the utter corruption of the establishment, elite, urban media.
The large cities are still in thrall to that media, but they will come around. There are two many sources for information now, for people to be satisfied with obvious lies.
