Obama in Iowa; Again

[candycorn]

I see where the President is again in Iowa.

He must be really confident to be going after the State with 6 electoral votes. One would think he'd be in the more electorally rich states.

This is a good sign; both his spending time in Iowa and speaking of an increase in college aid and Pell Grants. Speaks to the demographics that support him and are great for the future of the country.

Shouldn't Obama be in Louisiana making the GOP look detached from current events?

No. The GOP nominee takes care of that all by himself.

Iowans don't waver too much from what they believe and we are outspoken about them. We like to argue with ourselves, and anyone else who doesn't believe what we do.

Convincing an Iowan is generally worth at least another vote in another state due to this. It's almost like people in other states don't talk politics with each other.

That's my perception... I'm bias... So take it as you will.

Did you know that Iowa gets 20% of its electrical power from wind?

you do now.

Iowa must have good golf courses

*shrugs* I've only golfed in Iowa and Michigan... They seem about the same to me.

Did not know that.

Why is he campaigning right now at all?
In all other elections, if one of the parties were having their convention, the other party ceased campaigning during that time. I know this is an "unwritten" rule, but it's what's always happened. I guess you'd call it a Courtesy. But then again, Obama doesn't care about that stuff.....

 

[DiamondDave]

Sounds more like he knows this is going to be a close election and that every electoral vote is going to be big

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Odd considering he now trails nationally and is now tied in Michigan. Even Iowa is up for grabs. Not good news for O.

 

[Caroljo]

He's going to lose Michigan. We have a Republican governor since 2010 (got rid of that pc of shit Canadian)..(NOT dissing Canadians...just her! lol!) and jobs have been coming back, it's not back to normal yet but we're doing better. People are noticing!

 

[Dick Tuck]

Iowa's a good state to schmooze with. It's not like Obama needs a major state to win the electorial vote.

Are you on drugs? Do you really think the people of Michigan like the idea of Romney dissing the aid to the auto industry?

Because nothing makes a worker feel good like saying you are not capable of doing it without government

Please keep telling your side that.

It's only making our job easier.

And remember to not vote too.

After all....he's a lock.

Poor baby.

If he thought that, I would think he'd be spending more time in VA and NC and FL instead of Iowa again. If he put some muscle into it he could probably get AZ out of the Romney column as well.

He'll be in NC next week so I can see that. Just think it's a sure sign of confidence that he's going for style points at this juncture.

Tied in Michigan; according to whom?

ROTFLMAO

There are parts of the state where he could not be kept safe.

I have no problem taking huge odds that he won't win AZ.
