Glad to see you've regained your sense of humor.
It is actually not a bad idea, it does not have to be Florida but a bigger state. Callifornia would not work since it is so left leaning and not a good representation of the US. Texas, Florida, New York or one of the bigger states in the rust belt would work much better.
The problem is Iowa does not tell you shit. The spend 100's of millions for roughly 100,000 people to show up and vote.
