Republicans will take both Nevada and Iowa and possibly Pennsylvania.
definitely, the mood in Iowa is anti-obama. Folks are hurting here.
I have a foolish friend who voted for Obama in last election, because he and his wife thought it cute to have 1 vote for Republicans and 1 vote for dems. That friend has regretted his vote for a couple of years now. Although he was foolish, he, like many others, fell into the trap of thinking that it doesn’t really matter who the president is. Now, with the economy in shambles, he knows that it does.
My point is that I don’t think he’s alone. I believe that many people started looking at the presidential election as a game, aqnd underestimated the damage which could be done by someone like Obama in the white house.
The independent voters in our country were in one long drunk, as well as disillusioned conservative voters (like myself) who got discouraged by a GOP who keeps running rino’s and then pissing all over the base. Although I didn’t sit out the last election, I imagine there were quite a few who did. That won’t be the case this year at all.
Obama, like a cold shower, has sobered us all up.
Most dems in Iowa, in my estimation, fall pretty close to the “independent voter” profile, rather than being rabidly left. Eastern Iowa is the only exception to this, because that’s where the University is.
