Wherin Iowa is the Field of Dreamers
Iowa. How is it that Iowa became such a focal point in Presidential primaries? Sen. Judd Gregg referred to Iowa as "a place where (people) pick corn." Was he far off? Let's take a look:

Somewhere, in the nether reaches of BFE Iowa...
"Hey der Harve I be hearing bout dis ting called a caucous? What
be a caucus der Harve?"
"Well, hey der Judith, a caucus is what be left of a animal after
it been run down der on de road...ya know, what dem vultures keep
pickin at when dey git all bloated and stink-y like."
"Oh, Ya Harve...I seen dem....So, dem vultures der Harve, are dey
de dem-crat vultures or pub-li-cun vultures?"
"Yup. dat be right Judith."

Iowa is a caucus carcus. Like fresh roadkill attracts vultures from afar Iowa attracts the Democrat and Republican Presidential hopefuls. The pick and peck at it like fesh meat only to ignore it once is has been devoured.
