Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucuses have proven to be a crucial first stop along the great race for the American presidency. Since its emergence in 1972 as the first caucus of each presidential season, the Iowa caucus has played a major role in the presidential nominating process. Every four years the national media flock to the Heartland, bringing the nation's attention along with them toward the Iowa political scene.
Several candidates of the past achieved successful nationwide campaigns after doing well in the Iowa caucuses. The first noteworthy example was Jimmy Carter, who rose from obscurity in Iowa and went all the way to the White House in 1976.
