Because of Des Moines and Iowa City Warren County. As most populous cities in Iowa along with college towns it maximizes the youth and urban voters. Whereas during th e 70's dairy farmers were the ones that came out and it tilted to the GOP before the age of voters changed.

I think Iowa will replace Ohio as the bellweather of this election with Obama carrying CO,NV,IO, NH and PA. Just like MO got replaced.

6, IA, NH,NM,CO,NV and PA make up the 272 electoral votes needed for Obama to clinch. With a Rob Portman on the ticket Obama may lose OH and win Iowa or New Hamsphire to win the election.
