Iowa's Field of Dreamers

摘要

Iowans are nice, maybe too nice. Late last month, newsweek political blogger Andrew Romano followed Democratic candidate John Edwards into the Depot restaurant in Shenandoah, Iowa (home of the Everly Brothers), and saw a woman wearing an Edwards button. Are you a supporter? the reporter inquired. "That's just today," she responded. "Joe Biden was here earlier this week and I was wearing his buttons." So, Romano asked, it's between Biden and Edwards for you? "No, no, no," she said, shaking her head at the reporter's innocence. "This is Iowa. I've even worn a Romney sticker."
