I've always wondered this, but this question becomes especially pertinent with Iowa's current reputation as being particularly anti-war.

Perhaps John Kerry was just a poor candidate for that area of the country. Look at the neighboring states, like Missouri, Illinois. Kerry also lost a couple of points there compared to 2000.

Evangelical turnout was way up compared to 2000, probably enough to flip a state like Iowa.

considering the average swing in the area, wouldn't it be more surprising if Iowa hadn't flipped?
