Why is Iowa always first? We're starting to see the presidential contenders make their official announcements, which means they're all headed to Iowa. Or New Hampshire. Two of the least diverse states in the country always get the most attention from the men and women vying to become president. What is the impact on policy? Will we ever see a rotation of which states lead the primary process? What does it mean to New York voters? We debate the topic with our guests:
- Kent Gardner, Chief Economist for the Center for Governmental Research
- Iman Abid, president of Monroe County Young Democrats
- Scott Onestak, University of Rochester College Republicans
- Tim Kneeland, political science professor at Nazareth College
