".....Larry Teeples, 74, a longtime member of the Jefferson city council, sat in the front row. He'd seen Chris Christie about a month ago and remained undecided, just six hours before the caucuses.
"I like what I've heard," he said as he waited for Cruz to arrive. But "I had a friend from Dallas who called and told me to vote for Trump; don't vote for Cruz."
Doris Hugg, 70, from nearby Crawford County, said she appreciated Cruz's effort to meet small town Iowans.
"It's because they care about what Iowans have to say. You can't get to know people by making six stops," said Hugg, who works as a dispatcher for her trucker husband.
"If a candidate only covers the populated areas, they don't care about guys like us in the rural areas," said Garry Higgins, 69, an Army veteran and retired security guard from Rippey, in Greene County. "They ought to run everywhere - not just where the people are."
And doing the full Grassley makes a candidate better, in his view.
"It helps them. People in Iowa are not shy about telling politicians how they feel," Higgins said.
Cruz delivered his usual stump speech, noting there were only five hours til the caucuses begin.

I think you meant to say Cruz. Trump isn’t a senator.
Thank you......Too much typing Cruz Trump lately. When is the election again? Tomorrow? I wish.......actually this is exciting but so frustrating.
We will see tonight which polls are accurate. But one thing that is always true about Iowa is that there is a LOT of volatility in the polls in the last 5 days before the caucuses. So it is always a mistake to dismiss late-breaking changes in the polls.
White did the counties ever do to him?
What was it?
After I heard Brother Cruz preaching I know there is no way he will ever be President. Nothing wrong with praying, but sounding like Jimmy Swaggart is another thing.
Thanks for all your hard work in bringing out the truth. The Values Voters won last night.
God bless you and God bless America!
God bless Iowa!
God bless Ted Cruz!
