I am surprised at this. IA seemed out of reach because of Ethanol subsidies and McCain’s “straight talk express” opposition (even during the Iowa primary).
The polls must say it’s worth a trip. If IA could be held red, Colorado becomes less important.
Hmmm, a four-hour drive from Chicago.
Wish my McCain/Palin hat would show up already.
They both need a new message discussing other issues and targeting a Congress they can work with to get things done.
Go Hawks !
I got word yesterday that Iowa is in play.

That’s good news. What about Colorado? Are you worried about that?
THIS SCHEDULING INFO today ...

Meanwhile the Teleprompter Kid
cancels his weekend in tossup NH ... including a big Nascar race ...

Thank you!
I saw Ronald Reagan at this same location 28 years ago!
FANTASTIC. I have been hoping Sarah would come to Iowa. We put our McCain sign out the Saturday after he announced Sarah as VP. (They still don’t have McCain/Palin signs!!!) I’m calling my friends now to carpool from the DSM area. WOOHOO!!
Better get a ticket first!!!
