Also, there's no doubt Frist will be running for President and the passage of this legislation has helped him in the early stages of the election process (Iowa caucus).

Why do you feel this way? Historically Iowans have frowned upon heavyhanded federal government, and if Frist is anything, he's heavyhanded.

He's not doing this for Iowans as a whole, but for the subset of Iowans that vote in the GOP primary.

Naturally. (Well, caucus.) But that characteristic is much more true of Republicans than Democrats.
Iowa isn't the Bible Belt, for chrissake. It's not exactly Wyoming, either, but I can't see this playing well there.

Frist probably got the backing of Iowa Representative Jim Leach by getting the onling gambling bill passed. That's a huge step towards being a force in the Iowa Caucus. If Leach is able to provide the infrastructure for Frist's campaign, I think Frist could be a strong candidate.
