Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

Anyone in Iowa? Have seen a BS media report here in Aus that it's gonna go blue.
What's the local opinion...anyone?
All based on a poll by Ann Selzer which seems a last hail mary after the "Trump wants to execute Liz" hoax failed. There are many folks who are proving that this poll is fake.
Yeah thanks bubble, I know the polls and media reports are predictably spewing their bile. Not long to go now...
just drove home from Milwaukee. across eastern Wisconsin & Iowa...still recovering from all the Wisconsin round-abouts😳
and I saw a lot of Harris Walz signs, especially in Wisconsin. there were also a lot of liberal radio ads aimed at young people. so to answer your question, eastern Iowa is much like eastern (edit; meant to say western) Wisconsin & Illinois. also the University of Iowa is there, so more diverse. it's a populated, blue area.
Thanks sue, greatly appreciate the feedback and report!
you're welcome, I also appreciate first-hand reports, love to share when I can.
