Its because we're a bunch of dumb Iowa heads.

I would say Iowa is being downplayed is because of two resons:

1. The Democrats and Republicans feel that Iowa selects "bad" nominees. This could be valid as well seeing how Iowa has selected Kerry and Dole.

2. The "Super-Duper Tuesday" primary in February 2008 is what will decide the nominee. There are so many candidates entered in Iowa that whoever wins will get less than 30%, and that means little. However, by the big primary several candidates will be out.

Iowa's place in the sun for presidential elections is coming to a close, and I guess we can then join hands with Deleware as "forgotten states".
