Iowa’s full of a bunch of liberal farmers living subsidies. Of course they vote democrat. Bush always lost Iowa. No biggie.
why has McCain spent so much time in IA then? Was he hoping Palin would help bring out the social conservatives in large numbers? Even Bush barely won this state in 2004. It is most likely blue this time around.
Bush won Iowa in 04 and MCcain/Palin have been putting alot of effort into keeping it red.
Bush won Iowa in 2004 and barely lost to Gore in 2000.
UMM no Bush Didn’t in 2004
“Of course they vote democrat. Bush always lost Iowa. No biggie.”
Except for the fact that without Iowa and New Mexico, we either have to flip a Kerry state or we can’t afford to lose even one out of the 6-7 battleground state- MO, FL, OH, VA, NC etc. It’s doable but we need to campaign hard in states like Colorado and Virginia and realistically evaluate whether we can flip a Kerry state like Pennsylvania. McCain seems to think we can- hope he’s right.
Bush won IA in 2004 and barely lost it in 2000. Some argued that the GOP should go after WI, IA and I think OR while Gore was trying to steal FL. All three of those states were close losses.
Bush won Iowa in 2004.
I have known two gals that were from IA and they both said IA is full of the biggest bunch of looney birds ever seen by mankind. They said the folks up there want it all for nothing and expect to government to give it to them.
Both these gals left for Texas as soon as they possibly could and only go back to visit family when they have too.
Iowa has become the Vermont of the Midwest.
