Enough Already!
Even in Iowa -- or maybe especially in Iowa -- American voters are saying it.
Enough with the candidates, the money, the television commercials, the talk of the campaign on the newspapers in the nightly news, Monday's NEW YORK TIMES will report.
According to newsroom sources, many Iowans tell the paper's Adam Nagourney how all of this is just too much, too soon, and a little overwhelming.

"I'd like a two-week moratorium on this," Scott Roberts said in Clear Lake as he observed what normally is modest if energetic Independence Day parade crammed with observers, reporters and Secret Service agents as first Bill and Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney came through.
Several said they were worried that people would lose interest by the time the campaign actually started. In Pennsylvania, voters are braced for much the same thing in the coming weeks and months

I live in Iowa and it is not just all about politics, pigs and corn. I am sick of all the political hobnobbing going on though. It is way to early.

I'll probably be in Iowa by the time the 2012 elections come around. I'm looking forward to buying a nice house there, as they cost about a fourth of what they do here.

Iowa is a wonderful state. Compare it to Louisiana
and then tell me.

Don't Kid yourself, Iowans should love it. This is the only time ever that Iowa is more important than California, NY, and Washington. Iowans will have a powerful hand in mapping the country's destiny (a little bombastic language... I know).
Just don't give us another John Kerry, Please...

I can't imagine what it must be like to have "the eyes of the nations' focused on my state once every four years.
It would be like getting slapped hard every four.
You know it's coming no matter what you do!

I'm happy I do not live in Iowa.
I do not like to shovel snow. Been there, done that, do not want to repeat.
Plus, the politics of corn seems pretty uninteresting. How can you get passionate about the uses of corn? Get real.

i became those days in the "extreme country" of my state and located it very relaxing. The grass appeared greener, the sky greater blue, and the human beings genrally happy and well mannered. there have been minorites present day of all forms of nationalites yet one "minority" became conspicuously absent. wager which one it became. Hell even the low earnings housing factors we exceeded have been clean and green.
