My point is that no matter where you go these days, it always seems to be a mixture of all types of people. Iowa is the State in which both major parties have chosen to start their respective presidential races, and it's not for a particular reason I know of. It just is.
I see. Statistics provide no insight, then. Thanks, anyway.

By the way, i find it interesting when people boast about how the very same event was organized in their place. They show a sense of locality which sometimes makes them either funny or angry. The latter, if you dare to question them.
