Attention brings with it not only positives but negatives. A bit of online reading will present you with this and Iowa has been receiving it’s share of attention for the past 48 hours.

Today I was reading an article on Digg ranting about how Iowa & New Hampshire shouldn’t be the first two states deciding such important matters in the upcoming election for various reason like how we’re a dumb “backwater” state from the south. You know, despite being a state away from the Canadian border and all. Basically you have to let these comments roll off, but I would like to present the following point made in the comment section of that specific Digg article.

“I’m white but it is messed up that a state that is 94 percent white or close to it is having this much influence. It’s just not representative.”

“And the majority of the democrats there voted for a black man. What does that tell you?”

- Packgrog

Point. Game. Match.

Just because a group people living in an area happen to be largly white (91%, actually…) doesn’t mean they’re a bunch of cross burning idiots wearing sheets. . . Obama pulled through last night and I think he’s the right guy for the job. On to New Hampshire.
