Iowa would be an important State to pick up.

Those are the ones we must go after and win over. I really think that we can pick up Iowa this time; I really do.
Well, I'm one of 'em.
It's surprisingly diverse other than racially (where it's melanin-deprived). More Catholic, and more unionized in the east along the Mississippi River -- a part of the Dem-leaning Upper Mississippi Valley, like adjacent southwestern Wisconsin and southeastern Minnesota; more Protestant, agricultural, and conservative in the west, more akin to Nebraska.
A Republican trend statewide, however modest, is a good sign. Iowa is a state well worth watching as an indicator of the national sentiment.
And somewhere a Democcratic strategist is trying to calculate the fastest route from Chicago to the Iowa state line....
Where uninformed people hark over Harkin, you know IA will always be a tough nut to crack.
Shouldn’t be close. We all have access to sources other than the MSP.
I can’t bring myself to talk to them. Includes family.
This isn’t opinion’s any more, If your head is in your ass, not my job to pull it out. We have a Country, way of life, and a future for our kids to think about.
Democrats have to be defeated, but along the way the RNC needs cleaned out!
It’s TEA for me, Our way of life depends on it!
No, it is because of the unusually high number of folks PO'd at O and the Demonrats for the unbelievable burdens they have placed on us, our children, our grandchildren, our great grandchildren, etc.

Good news bump
I lived in Iowa from 2005 - 2008 and from a personal standpoint I don’t think Iowa will break for Obama. In 2008 he won because Iowa drank the hope and change Kool Aid that they were getting a messiah that would lead this country to a new age of prosperity. Now he’s probably perceived as another a obnoxious liberal Chicagoan.
