We’re back in Des Moines, Iowa for some pre-caucus campaigning!
As expected, Hillary Clinton is the front runner, but Bernie Sandes is putting up a surprisingly serious challenge. Check out the adorable graphic on the cover of yesterday’s Des Moines Register:
Lately Bernie has narrowed the gap to just a handful of percentage points and supporters here on the ground are jonesed! You can just make out poor Martin O’Malley sprawled on his behind in the background behind the two front runners.
Bernie’s regional HQ is actually right next door to the Harding Hills Hy-Vee, where faithful readers will remember many cold but happy days spent doing visibility work to drive out early voters in the general election three years ago.
Ruth and I (by the way, we’re married now!) have already caught up with some of our favorite Iowans, including Bob, Kathy, Zoey, CeCe, Linda and Kim. And we even met Nate Silver, the data-crunching genius behind fivethirtyeight.com and late of the New York Times.
If you’d like to catch up, send me a message on Facebook (I promise to check it this weekend) or text me!
