They would only do that if IA was in play and they needed the help...just what kind of a scam is being plyed on the voters...I thought IA was solidly blue!
Despite all of this, some here point to inflated polls as "proving" that McCain and his staff are idiots who don't know how to run a campaign. They think he's a moron for campaigning there. I find their arrogance amusing, while at the same time disturbing.
KESG and I differ on the impact of Iowa issues. I don't worry too much about McCain being against ethanol subsidies. I'm more worried about Obama's ground game (in place for more than a year), while McCain skipped Iowa to focus on NH. KESG thinks ethanol is a bigger issue than the getting-out-the-vote infrastructure.
I forgot to include that Iowa is also right across the river from Omaha, where Obama is making a play for one of Nebraska’s electoral votes.
