Poll question: War between Wisconsin and Iowa, Who Wins?
I vote Wisconsin. All we need to do is to get our people of German Heritage to load up on bratwurst, sauerkraut, pickled eggs, and beer, wait a few hours, and the poor Iowans would be subject to our weapons of ass destruction.

7. Remember this...
Edited on Mon Dec-06-04 04:03 PM by JonathanChance
The Green Bay Packers are the most popular religion in this state. All we have to do is convince the population that Iowa, (and anyone else who decides to foolishly oppose us) that the Packers are in mortal jeopardy, and the Packers nation shall rise up and declare a holy war on your asses.

Never underestamate Packers Fundamentalists.

There is no team but the Packers, and Favre is its superstar.

6. I say we answer this question without resorting to mass violence.
MrsGrumpy and FuzzySlippers, one on one, and we'll vote on the medium in which they'll wrestle at a later date. :D

9. Hard to say.
Wisconsin has their Bovine AT-AT's. While slow and ungainly, they do have heavy armor and weapons.

On the other hand, Iowa has the dreaded Porcine Ninja squads. While they aren't as overtly devestating, they can wreak massive psychological damage behind the frontlines, and are nearly impossible to stop.

Defensively Wisconsin has an advantage. With it's network of its many lakes and defensive hedgerows of spare cheesehead hats, they can mire down almost any foe. On the other hand, Iowa's only defense seems to rely on the overwhelming stench of freshly fertilized farm fields. That won't be much of a deterant to Wisconsins mostly rural weapons systems.

I guess I have to bet on Wisconsin. But it's not a really confident bet.

11. As a former Iowan who now lives
in the corner of Minnesota 40 miles each way from Iowa AND Wisconsin I resent this poll question. No right answer for me!

By the way, why are there no trees in Southern Wisconsin?

Illinois sucks. :)

14. And beware of Wisconsin's Cow Cavalry
(or Calve Cowery, whichever strikes more fear)

Proud member of the Fundamentalist Packer Regime reporting for duty. Time to go dairy on your asses! :)

I'm not sure I understand the question.

BTW-don't cut down on Iowa. It's a nice place to catch up on your sleep.

22. I have lived in both
love them both dearly but honestly, I'd vote Wisconsin. I was a GI brat who lived everywhere and my favorite time was in Madison Wisconsin.
