2012 Election

Living in Iowa during an election is a lot different than living in Utah during an election.  We are considered a "battle ground" state.  Basically that means your state is a battle ground for negative advertising on TV.  We got bombarded.  Just about every other commercial was a political add.  It's great.

Iowa is a swing state and could go either Republican or Democrat.  That may be true but let me tell you Iowa City is not a swing city.  It is a very blue city.  Our lonely Mitt Romney sign stood out like a sore thumb- especially in our neighborhood!

Enrique and I enjoyed following Mitt Romney's presidential pursuit.  We were thrilled when he won the Republican nomination and to see him come so close to win was exciting.  Not only was it an honor to have our Mormon 2% of the population be represented but we really liked him as a candidate and thought he would have made a great president.  Since Mitt Romney is a Mormon our faith was discussed a lot in the media.  Even though he didn't win the good news is no one can say they have never heard of Mormons anymore.   Thanks for representing Governor Romney!

I will miss hearing Qui Que talk about "It Omney"
