I am dedicating this to all of our friends who CLAIM they are saddened and wish they could be here with me and Omar. Now you can be- Kind Of.
THE WEATHER: While in Iowa, you would be standing with me and Omar, outside at the end of an event, in the below conditions:
9:52 PM Temp 1.0 F (-17.2 C) Windchill-20 F (-29 C)
YES THAT SAYS, ONE Degree. FYI, it only gets colder as it gets later. Omar is handling the weather like a champ, we all know he's pretty tough. And this Vegas Native is handling it fine too, and absolutely loving every minute of it.
THE DRIVING: While in Iowa, with me and Omar, you would see and experience the following between Des Moines and Cedar Rapids.
1. I-80 for 101.2 miles, over and over.
2. Snow blowing across the road.
3. Snow covered spun around cars in the center median. (see picture to the right)
4. An “Adult Store” in the middle of farmland (just like home, kind of).
5. The best “Short Stop” that has a cashier named Pat, trucker hats, big coffee, and NV shaped magnets
6. Courteous Iowa drivers (they always switch lanes to allow you to pass).
THE EATING: While in Iowa, with me and Omar, you would have eaten at Perkins. These facts will help you imagine your in the booth next to us.
1. Only place findable and open after 2AM.
2. 20 locals in Iowa and Zero in Nevada.
3. You will find JRB, HRC, and BHO staffers sitting crowd-edly amongst each other.
4. No alcohol served.
5. You can not eat at a Perkins in Marion, however on New Years Eve, you can eat at Perkins with a Marion.
6. Everyone in Iowa seems to have eaten there. (now I have too)
THE PRECINCT CAPTAIN MEETINGS: While in Iowa, with me and Omar, you would spend a lot of time with volunteers, and today you would have heard the greatest quote from a Linn County Precinct Captain when explaining why he supports Joe Biden.
“If I was in a street fight, I would pick Joe Biden to back me up”…
Well, I feel the same way about Valerie Biden. In fact I would pick Valerie Biden to back me up and then pick her to go shopping for some Kick A- shoes.… VALERIE BIDEN FOR FIRST SISTER.
THE CAMPAIGN BATTLES: While in Iowa, with Omar and I, you would have experienced today's funniest and lamest attempt to get one campaign's supporters to switch. Below describes the ridiculous scenario.
As a private Conference call with Iowa Biden Precinct Captains and Senator Biden began to wrap up, a young woman's voice came across the phone, she began asking the Captains to please send supporters to caucus for Obama. To make it worse, she announced that she was calling from California, not even in Iowa..
Breaking it down, you would have heard One campaign calling in on another campaign's private conference call, announcing their presence, and admitting to Iowans that they were calling from CA.
Well there you are... would-a, could-a, should-a. Its not too late, get your butts here and experience Iowa with me and Omar. I am going to eat................

Happy New Year
Did Christmas really go by?
Well, I have to give all you pros PROPS. Its not easy to write, when you have too much to write. I will only put down what I must, in order to sleep:
I think the Des Moines Register poll is bogus!!!!
1. Because I Say So:
We are here on the street, watching the crowds, listening to the people, making phone call after phone call.. this poll dos not reflect any of the ground response!!
And...
2. Because the JE Camp says so???
Edwards Campaign Reaction to Des Moines Registere Poll

Edwards Campaign Reaction to Des Moines Register Poll::
"Is the poll accurate? There are good reasons to think it is NOT.
-The poll is at odds with history. The poll says that 60% of Democratic caucus participants will be first timers. Usually, the number of first-time caucus goers is no more than 20%.
-The poll also says that 45% of those at Democratic caucuses will be Independents or Republicans.
-The poll is at odds with other polls. Other polls show a close race with other candidates leading.
-Yepsen himself highlights the fluidity of the results rather than the horserace."
