During recent rallies in Sioux City and Council Bluffs, Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan asked Iowa voters for their help in winning the election. Ryan told voters that the presidency was within grasp but that he and Mitt Romney would need all of Iowa’s help to win the White House.
“You have a responsibility and an opportunity and an obligation to help us get this country back on the right track so that we look back on this moment as when we reclaimed our freedoms, when we got our jobs back, when we got our economy growing,” said Ryan.
Iowa is a swing state and is often the focal point of elections. In 2008, Obama won the state’s six electoral votes by 10 points. Iowa has voted for a Democrat every year since the 1980s. Obama is currently in the lead in Iowa according to most major polls.
Said Ryan of Obama: “You see, the man we heard four years ago offering hope and change is the very kind of candidate he was then criticizing. He has become what he criticized.”
