I suppose this makes Iowa the most likely non-swing state for Harris to pick up?

Probably? Maybe?

Also whether it’s true or not, no reason for Kamala to have gone to Iowa. It’s so far from a tipping point state in 2024.

But could this be her version of 2008 Indiana/NC?

I haven't talked about it on this thread but I am beyond proud that both of my daughters have the opportunity to vote for not only the first woman to be president*, but also the woman whose election saves the American experiment in a moment of grave peril. 
 

Seeing my daughter watch Kamala get sworn in would be an incredible moment as a parent. And it happens on MLK Day this time around, making it extra fantastic, for all of the reasons you can imagine. 

If there really is a God, I sure hope God was holding off on Trump's eventual death just so he would have to be alive to watch her get sworn in.

Nice, the Navy 44s. Built so tough when they hit a concrete pier, the pier breaks.

 

I've sailed them a couple times for Lloyd Phoenix

Some sort of race.  The CGA ran away with it.  I yelled “Go Coast Guard, Go Maine” as we cruised by after the finish, which got me a few fist pumps from the boat and my host admonished me for talking to a competitor boat. 
 

Like I said: I didn’t eat shit through 4 Maine winters to not give some love to any school from Vacationland. 
 

Except Colby. Fuck those guys.

To add to my previous post it will be annoying if a chunk of seniors finally turn on Trump just because of their personal financial interests (SS and Medicare) but I'll take it. I really appreciated the old Iowa guy quoted as saying that J6 was why he'll never vote for Trump and will actually vote for a Democrat to keep him out of office. At least that's a principle but not only self-interested reason. 

I agree but this election, whatever reason they need to use to vote Dem is fine.

My 93 year old father hated Trump after 2020. He’s a die hard Regan republican. He wasn’t going to vote, which was a win as far as I was concerned. The SS and Medicare and treatment of veterans (he is one) made him vote for Harris while still complaining about how bad Democrats are. I just let him talk. I think there are a whole lot of olds that want that SS money.

If we know this today, the campaign has known this for about a week. Explains a lot.

Probably. But she knows better than to even entertain going to Iowa. Keep the focus on the Big 7 and if an Iowa or Ohio or TX or FL or Alaska surprisingly falls your way, great!
