ANDREA MITCHELL IS CORRECT ABOUT IOWA

She laid on some truth about Iowa:
“The rap on Iowa,” she said. “It doesn’t represent the rest of the country… too white, too evangelical, too rural. Still here, politics are personal.”

Here are the relevant facts from the US Census:

The first number is for Iowa, the second is for America as a whole -
White persons, percent, 2010 91.3% 72.4%
Black persons, percent, 2010 2.9% 12.6%
Persons of Hispanic or Latino origin, percent 5.0% 16.3%
