An Iowa Republican congressman said that terrorists would be "dancing in the streets" if Democratic candidate Barack Obama were to win the presidency. An Obama spokesman said such comments "have no place in our politics."

Eastern Iowa is a quite welcoming place, home to Dave Loebsack and (hopefully) future senator Bruce Braley.

I enjoy visiting there. The people always make us feel welcome.

They allow gay marriage right now. I believe they were the first to allow interracial marriage. They are a tolerant bunch, on the whole, and literate. My husband's family came from there. We still have farm property there. My daughter went to Iowa State and loves her school.
