A well written article. I felt like I was there, and the author provided good insight as to what each of the candidates did (or missed out on) up in Iowa.
That was a good list of campaign accomplishments Rick Perry capitalized on in Iowa this past weekend. It was great to hear the author report that Perry is finally showing himself to be the candidate that many were expecting when he entered the race. Newt had a great showing too which is also great. And the author is right, conservatives can always depend on Rick Santorum’s commitment to being a pro-life politician and a pro-life person. Apparently Santorum’s loss of a pre-mature infant child was very touching to those who heard his story. I’m glad to see Ron Paul participated as well, showing Iowans he cares about the issues that are important to Evangelical conservative voters.
I’m sorry to hear the press was more or less ignoring Michele Bachmann as she was speaking. I guess that is the way it goes in politics and journalism when the speaker (Representative Bachmann) has a campaign not making much news and when the journalists see a chance at possibly getting a bigger story from an already-big story from someone else in the room. It’s hard to be in politics, that’s for sure.
Thanks again for posting the article!
I watched the event and I do believe that when Herman Cain was speaking, Michele Bachmann was entering from the back and stopped to shake hands along the way before taking her seat. (I may have the speaker mixed up but she did do that). Not so good. If she was late, she should have quietly taken her seat.
btw -- have you seen this?
