You hear a lot of jokes about Iowa City, Johnson County and the liberals who live there and the very few conservatives who dare to. A couple of years ago I was sitting at the Old Capitol Mall waiting on Tom when an older gentleman walking by commented to his wife about a car having a Bush '04 bumper sticker, "I can't believe they have the guts to drive over here with that bumper sticker!"
Iowa City is its own little part of Iowa and I think that has not everything to do with political parties but with the University and the diversity of people who make up the City and County. I love visiting there <grin>. Every now and then you do find a Conservative, it's like finding a rare bird!
I recently met a delightful lady, Karen Fesler, who lives in Coralville. She is a Conservative who has been involved in political campaigns behind the scenes in Iowa and Missouri. She recently began writing a blog. She is very thoughtful in her postings and I believe will give Independents and Democrats insight into why a woman would be a Republican.
Go read her blog, A Reluctant Revolutionary, let her know I sent you.
