Iowa is as purple as it gets and has been since 2000. Clinton and Dukakis won there by moderate margins. Before that it was Republican.

Iowa is one of the closest states in recent elections. Yes it went for Obama by 10 but Obama also won the election by 7. Bush did a little bit better so there were a couple states that flipped his way. Iowa has only been far left one time and that was in 1988. Before that it usually went Republican too. Clinton and Gore won by small margins. I expect Iowa to switch back in 2012 if things continue to go bad for Obama. Oh and in Iowa 17 year olds are allowed to strip because stripping is considered an art form. How do you all feel about this?
