Iowa has may just be the best swing state over the last two election cycles. After just trailing blue in 2000, it switched gears and narrowly went red in 2004. As can be seen, I am picking Iowa to go back to the Democrats in 2008 for a obvious reason. It isn't slated to be a very good year for Republicans, as opposed to 2004 when it was a great year for Republicans. I still expect things to be very close, but give the slight edge to the Democrat for now. The senate seat seems to be in great shape for the Incumbant, and after a suprise shift in district 2, that is a race I think you should look at.--------------------------
