The winner of Iowa 96 was Bob Dole. Bob Dole, 26%. So he's a midwesterner, but again, quite moderate, but in second place. Do you remember who was second place? I have no idea. Pat Buchanan. Yeah, 23%. So almost beats Bob Dole in Iowa that year. And that became a big, big deal. All right, 2000. Who wins Iowa? 2000. Iowa. I'm trying to think of an underdog, because it seems like they're going with the under. (07:01–07:10)
