So was the crowd mostly college kids? That would also explain alot, no jobs in Obama’s recession so perhaps if we had socialism we would forgive their debt and give them a job.
Iowa State is not socialist. Or rather, as little as a college town can be.
The western half of the state is very conservative.
However, I find the crowds interesting. There are a lot of very desperate people, who are watching their savings go down the drain. Many have been burned by the banks, in both the housing market, and the futures market. The banks were bailed out, many saw their money taken.
The GOP needs to get a handle on this, and fast.
