Host Ben Kieffer talked about the implications of Iowa's county partisanship with Larimer and Dennis Goldford, Professor of Politics at Drake University.  They also looked at Iowa's gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races and where major policy proposals like immigration reform and the Farm Bill stand in Congress.
