Also, why is Iowa so pivotal?  Something I've never understood.

No offence to anyone from Iowa (Tongue), but surely other states are FAR more important?

The Dems and Repubs like to push Iowa and New Hampshire because they are cheap to campaign in and it makes the locals feel important.  Other States are pushing back because Iowa and New Hampshire are mostly lily white and it skews the choice of candidates.  That's why they came up with Super Tuesday and also why California in now moving its primary to an earlier date.  In the past it was giving up its power to nominate candidates although it has the most electoral votes.
