Iowa Tourism/ It’s Party Time
Tuesday, December 18th, 2007It’s party time in Iowa and you aren’t going to want to miss it! Iowa tourism should be flourishing until the 3rd of January when the caucus is held and then the candidates and most of their staff members will book out of the state to go try to convince some other state residents that their line of crap is the best line of crap out there!
Now Iowa tourism may be a term that most of the candidates and their staff would not believe they qualify to be placed with, after all, they are candidates, not tourists. Well, let’s see, they come in to the state, they stay in hotels, they eat at our restaurants, they buy gasoline for their cars which they drive from one corner of the state to the other. They visit museums, corn processing plants, city halls, ball games and more. They spend great amounts of money in the state and then, alas, they leave for another 4 years. I think that qualifies them as tourists.
Now, don’t get me wrong, we love having them here. Both the Demo crates and the Republicans are more than welcome to come to Iowa. They spend their money all over the state which helps with the Iowa tourism economy. In most cases they are polite, at least out in public, and they respect the citizens of Iowa (at least out in public). They are a wonderful addition to the normal tourist that visits the state, we would love to have them come and spend time here after the election, but you can bet your bottom dollar that a little bitty state like Iowa isn’t on the top of their “I need to go back there” list! Oh well, we’ll take what we can get.
