Legacy Journal: Iowa: The Purple State

Section:
Politics

Summary:
Iowa is often thought of a red, white, and blue representative of Heartland Americana. The results of state’s 2007 Republican and Democrat party bruising caucus competiton is more some shade of purple ,lavender, or lilac. Black and yellow are Hawkeye colors, but big city Illinois was a big winner, and The Oprah factor may have played a role. Apparently, the Harlem based lieutenant -governor of NY, the Latino mayor of Los Angeles, the former Secretary of State in the Clinton administration, and the collection of labor bosses that attended the Hillary “victory celebration” in Iowa were visibly stunned by results.

Main:
The state’s anti-war, isolationist streak once again surfaced. The Quad Cities and Des Moine media center appears to have influential, but not decisive.

On the Republican side, the two leaders, Huchabee and Romney shared 59% of the secret Republican party caucus vote. Three others, Guliani, Thompson and Paul, shared 41%. On the Democrat side, the three candidates standing shared 97% at end of the evening rounds of non secret balloting.

So, the conclusions are:

: The 1% of Iowans who are potential voters in the national presidential vote in November are not good at voting the next leader of the Free World.
They did not vote for native son and California transplant, Ronald Reagan, in 1980. The follow on folks in the Granite state did.

:: Iowan’s are not pleased with the Clinton legacy, influenced by the Clinton machine, nor swayed by the Clinton money.

::: Push poll tactics had a negative reaction in Iowa.

:::: As of New Hampshire and ABC TV showcase, five Republicans and three Democrats are still standing.
