By Chuck Grassley, U.S. Senator... On a crisp winter night in early January, Iowans once again successfully kicked off another presidential nominating contest. In 1,781 precincts across the state, a record number of caucus-goers underscored how seriously Iowans uphold their civic duty and passion for electoral politics. In the first open race for the White House since 2000, the contenders who campaigned for months and months in the Hawkeye state readily discovered what I've long known about the Iowa electorate. Iowans attend town hall meetings, they show up with tough questions and have high expectations to get answers.
