Why is Iowa so Democratic?

I remember visiting Iowa as a young boy with my family back in the late seventies or very early 1980s.  Even as a lad I could easily see that people began to speak better, act better, dress better, as we moved north.  Lets face it Iowans are better than Missourians, outside of the small liberal enclave of St. Louis.

Why, I don't know.
