How important is Iowa to your election decision ?

The media generally builds Iowa as the decision maker to the White House but is that true or just media hype?

1. None just media hype as far as I am concerned.
2. It isn't at all. I'm not one that does something just because everyone else does.
3. I couldn't care less what is the decision in Iowa. I make up my own mind by checking out the candidates past actions. Too many are flip-flopping just to get elected.
4. it sets a trend
5. It doesn't matter to me at all. I decide which candidate I support based on their record, not on how the people in Iowa vote. I can't believe anyone's decision would be influenced by it. As usual, the media is B.S.ing us with hype to try to make an event seem more significant than it really is.
6. Hype....every state has their own caucus or primary eventually. Iowa results are important to me because I'm an Iowan and it's my chance to go and support my candidate...but for voters in other states Iowa doesn't mean anything unless they allow the results to influence them.
