Reply #9: Didn't Iowa vote for Bush last year? [View All]

I have to respectfully disagree with you.

Though you're dead on to expect that people in both states would be pissed with Dean's plan.....

maybe Dean's thinking of using Ohio instead, which would, in it's own way make a lot of sense, for really obvious reasons, not only is Ohio the ultimate swing state, most demographers would say Ohio would give you the closest insight into the country as a whole.

And what if the other state intended was Florida, the other BIG swing state?

I can agree that Dean's plan is probably a slap in the face to tradition and to Iowa and NH -but, we need to try some different angles if we are gonna win.
