63. Actually the inverse is true. Media markets in Iowa are cheap and easily bought while media markets

in California are so expensive that they would cost tens of millions and have little effect. For that reason CA has developed a strong tradition of candidate forums and debates that significantly reduce any financial advantages a candidate may have.

Don't believe me? Ask Meg Whitman, Steve Poizner, Michael Huffington, Steve Westly, Al Cheechi who spent a combined $ 200 million and got nothing for it.

Iowa Republicans are among the most religiously aggressively nut jobs in the country

They bear a large responsibility for Trump, had he failed in Iowa he probably would not have gotten the nomination.

Oh and by the way, the well funded candidate, ala Trump won in Iowa because of his ability to swamp the others in the media.

Media in California is so expensive that no one will have the money to make large ad buys and free media has a much greater role than ads. Candidate forums and debates are a fixture in California because it is so expensive and provides a much more even playing field than a state like Iowa. Ten million in ad buys in Iowa will get you the nomination while the same investment in California won't move the numbers more than one or two points where free media forums and debates will launch or destroy a candidate.
