If you’re at all interested in American politics, then here’s another plus regarding Iowa: all the presidential candidates will be coming through the state to campaign. The Iowa caucuses are one of the most important markers along the campaign trail. For the 2008 election, both Obama and Hilary Clinton were on the Grinnell campus. True, the Democratic primary may not be contested – although there is at least one person who is trying to run against Hilary – chances are that even Hilary will be coming to Iowa. Whether or not she comes to Grinnell is another matter, but i would bet that some students would travel to see her and / or some other candidates.

Republican candidates would not be likely to visit the campus, though… But, again, they are all coming to Iowa!

You could even get involved in working on a campaign if you were so inclined.

Of course, you should not base your decision on the next four years on this, but I thought that Presidential politics vis a vis Iowa might be something of interest! If not for you, then at least to tell the folks at home!
