From Wall Street Journal blog:

“My toys are coming from Iowa,” Dodd said, appealing to the local audience. Dodd recently said that his daughter Gracie raised bigger Christmas concerns after he moved his family to Iowa for the Jan. 3 caucuses. …

A quick check of the Bureau of Labor Statistics records turns up 10 small toymakers in Iowa, Gresser says. Together they employ 113 people. “Careful the campaigns don’t swamp them with orders. Sports equipment might be better,” he said. “Iowa has 31 businesses with over a thousand employees. And the U.S. remains a pretty big producer of bats, balls, gloves, etc.”
