I heard someone saying this, but it wasn’t a campaign person and may be an exagerration/myth. I can’t ammend post above to take it out, but that is not confirmable. I’m a part-time blogger, not a journalist (obviously).

Jeff: You've hit the nail on the head. Neither one of these two would be pulling out if they thought they were going to get the results they want.

McCain is probably the more interesting. After Rudy pulled out, he should have looked at the situation as an opportunity to pick up some Rudy votes.

He must see the situation so dire, there's no hope. This illegal immigration mess this week may have helped push him over the edge. He's toast.

On the good side--Iowans again did their job of winnowing the field. We just didn't get to the Straw Poll. The rest of the country can thank us.

You are a much better journalist than many who hang that shingle out, Jeff, don’t talk yourself down!

As for the charter buses, it may or may not be true, I agree. If true, while a clever move, it may not be a polite one if the goal is to make trouble for everyone else. What would be next, booking all the nice hotel rooms?

I’ll wait and see if there’s corroboration.
