It is great to see the candidates up close in smaller settings, so I would miss it. I can also see why the Dems would move on from NH and IA neither state really are representative of the current DP. None of the last three Dems to win the WH won the NH primary so it is not much of a bellwether either. Still I will miss getting to see the candidates up close and personal.

It won’t change. Our state constitution states we are to go first. I know they’ll just move it earlier to get in before SC

I agree. The main benefit is getting to actually talk to candidates. I grew up in the Midwest (not Iowa) and never saw a single presidential candidate until I moved here.
