Iowa is a swing state. We have a 5th-term Republican governor, one US Senator from each party, two US House members from each party, a Republican State House, a Democrat State Senate, and the other statewide offices are split. Iowa went for Bush in 2004, but it's true that it has gone for Democrats in other recent Presidential elections. But describing it as a "blue state" is simply not accurate.

Okay. I’ll just say it’s bluer than mine.
I still don’t agree with Iowans have more influence on our political system than my state.
If you’re an Iowan, would you have any objection to Alabama going first?
I will add that I would hate all the campaign ads Iowans have to endure so maybe it wouldn’t be such a good deal.
