She is clearly making more campaign stops, but one has to wonder if quality will trump quantity. Southwest Iowa is not heavily populated, for the most part. However, it is a conservative section of the state that is being ignored by other campaigns. The candidates are wise to spend time there.
What a ridiculous statement. First they basically say that she is doing too much but then they say it is a good idea for the candidates to visit. It appears that at least recently Perry and Bachmann are the only ones visiting. I don’t see anything wrong with it at all. Heck if you can get some of those folks to support either one that could make a difference. Santorum visited there sometime this year. I don’t know what Newt is doing as he has only spent about 600K in Iowa....not near enough to campaign with. Which since I don’t want Newt, I am happy that he MIGHT not do well. He has zero money so I don’t know how he will continue.
There is nothing ridiculous about the statement you complain of. Bachmann is clearly speaking to much smaller groups, rushing through the day, running late, and generally flailing. On the other hand, Perry is in his stride, attracting large groups, getting a very positive response, and building momentum.
It’s been reported that the Des Moines Register has pulled its top political reporter off Gingrich and put him on Perry.
For me the news is pretty heartening. Apparently not so much for you.
