Where Des Moines is (4)
I believe the answer is:
iowa
'where des moines is' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for iowa that I've seen before include "'Hawkeye State'" , "Central US state" , "US state, capital Des Moines" , "American state, capital Des Moines" , "US swing electoral state" .)
