I am a democrat from Iowa. I am currently working on a Poli Sci major. Felt like joining a Political forum.
I dunno Des Moines is a pretty cool town though not as hip as Madison Wisconsin but driving across Iowa sucks its flat, featureless, and very little forest cover all the trees were cleared for corn, soybean, and hog farms of course my home state Illinois is much the same downstate and west of Chicago.

I live on the Iowa-Nebraska border, and can see a hill 25 miles away from our attic. Many parts of Iowa have more trees now than during the late 1880's. Old settlers said most of Iowa was "bald." Many of the trees were planted as wind breaks. Omaha is almost in Iowa, and it is a pretty cool city. Welcome.
