    From an Iowan-

    The gop here is MASSIVELY right-wing. There seem to be no middle-of-the-roaders here at all. Google Bob Vander Plaats sometime for a great example. That said, there are also a lot of real progressives here. Not bullshit obamabots (though they exist) but issues-driven progressives. And keep an eye on the news- our Occupy movement has some great things planned for the caucuses.
