Our first night.

Here is what I can tell everyone from tonight- we just arrived: I can pack really fast, my snow boarding clothes now have another use, when you are with Omar you will be "randomly" selected by airport security, heavy suitcases must be carried as there wheels won't roll through snow, the drive from Des Moines to Cedar rapids at night is really scary, My (Ronni's) bad driving on icy roads is superb compared to Omar's, Iowa has 1,784 really spread out precincts, field workers here don't wear high heeled boots or flip flops, Cedar has a cool bar called The Irish Democrat and Iowans can't party like Nevadans. Now on its own, I must give Danny O'Brien our National Political Director a shout out; for moving my sleeping arrangements - sleeping along side families of mice are not high on my to do list... So Thank YOU Danny!! Now, I need to get some sleep so that I can make the Iowa Caucus training in Marion early tomorrow...

I am so glad that you made it safely to Iowa, though we miss you in Nevada especially this Tahoe buddy. This is great. I'm in Chicago on my way to Cleveland for a day and then on to Las Vegas. Will probably be in White Pine for a watch party of the Iowa caucuses. My best to everyone out there and stay warm. More later my flight to Cle is boarding:-)

Hi Ronni honey, hope you are staying warm there in Iowa and Mike's twin brother Omar also. I have a half sister in Muscatine, I do not know her political affiliations, but she has 9 grown kids, so that would be half of the town if they all went for Joe! Her name and address are:
Janet Schubic
1416 E. 5th St.
Muscatine IA 52761

Love you and stay warm,
Barb

Hi you guys. it sounds exciting to experience the Iowa caucus, but I don't envy the cold, miserable weather. I watch everything I can to see how things are progressing with the campaign and talk it up with everyone I know to spread the Biden gospel, I know no one wants to talk to me, but it is too important to let it lie. Joe is the one we need in DC. Good luck and will see you when you get back to 50 to 60 degree weather.

Ronnie and Omar since you are in Iowa I know Joe's points are rising and he could very well over come the rest of the candidates. Your dedication to the Biden campaign makes him a winner! Keep warm by working to win!
It is warm and sunny and a three day National Little Britches Rodeo is going on in Logandale and a five day Team roping in Mesquite. Happy New Year for you is Jan. 4th so keep the cork in the bottle.Val you too. Get you pins on that say JOE every where you go just say JOE. Some day I'm going to be a campaign consultant.

You are all doing such a tremendous job in Iowa! We miss you and can't wait for you all to come back to Nevada!

Can't wait for you to get back to NV. Your driver is available and waiting to get Senator Biden every where in NV he needs to go.

This is an Oho family giving it's best to Senator Biden. We are betting that the Senator will be in the race long enough for us to cast our vote for him. Go Biden

Hey Omar my grandson told me to come here and wish you all well. We are looking forward to coming in from Fair Oaks Calif. to help Senator Biden win in NV. Keep warm and we will see you soon.

Ronni,
On the front page of my huffingtonpost.com I saw Bidens face.... And it was a great article about the blogs about him

Keep up the good work. If it makes you feel better it is pretty cold here but we cant throw snowballs at omar.
