Nice little article. Fort Dodge is a small city in the Northern central part of Iowa.

Nice fair coverage for Fred.

The Iowa local press.... Doing the job the MSM won’t do.

Administrators are people who leaders hire,’’ he said. ‘‘

Administrators get work done. Effective leaders ARE Administrators.

“Effective leaders ARE Administrators.”

Or at least they are charismatic public faces who know how to hire competent administrators and listen to them sometimes.

Their mom is taking good care of them, as I hear it. Fred and Jeri will spend Christmas with the kids in Virginia, then back on the campaign trail the next day.

Fred’s the man, he really is the only one who doesn’t have to make up some story before he says what he believes in. Boy I hope he can pull it off.

Finally starting to see some good coverage of Fred... I think winning Iowa is out, but a strong 3rd place finish would be huge.

It wouldn't be possible to judge from the media coverage. They're too busy trying to fabricate the Iowa caucus from offices in New York or some such planet.

‘‘Administrators are people who leaders hire,’’ he said. ‘‘There is a difference between administration and leadership.’’

Right said, Fred!

I've seen reports that over half of the Iowa voters who are interested in the primary are undecided about who they'd support. I'd say that makes the race still pretty wide open.

administrators get people to get done what leaders see needs to be done.

It’s the season for miracles. Think big. Pray for 1st place!

I thought Huckabee was the one that won’t dance.
