Democrats Surge in Iowa

Iowans are ready for change:

The dramatic resurgence of registered Democrats in Iowa means the Midwestern battleground that Republican George W. Bush carried by a whisker four years ago may be far less competitive in November, national experts in voter registration say.

None of the states viewed early this year as competitive in the presidential campaign has swung more decisively than Iowa since Bush's re-election, based on a comparison of voter registration statistics. [...]

"I think you're looking at the possibility of a fairly seismic shift," said Gans, director of the Center for the Study of the American Electorate and a leading scholar on voter registration and behavior.

"When you have that kind of shift in registration, you tend to have that kind of shift in voting," he said. "And based on the trend, that would be true in Iowa this year."

Good news! I am from Maryland and recently bought a home in Iowa so I got to vote in the primaries (for Barack Obama, of course) in Maryland and get to cast my vote for the first time in Iowa for President Obama. I'm elated about that!
