Iowa. Only six electoral votes, no Senate seat up for grabs, and no egos (as in "Paul Ryan" or "Scott Walker") at risk. Nevada has as many electoral votes, but it has a Senate seat up for grabs. Wisconsin and Iowa vote largely in tandem -- and when they voted differently for President in 2004 they were both decided by less than 13,000 votes. But it has a Senate seat at risk.
To be sure Iowa puts seven electoral votes at risk, if you include one of the electoral votes in Nebraska because it is in the same TV market as most of western Iowa. (If you don't know how Nebraska allots its electoral votes you need a little lesson).
