McCain in Des Moines
What's up with that? He won't even let the general public see him! (On the other hand, he probably doesn't want rotten tomatoes and eggs thrown at him. Or corn ethanol.)

Why is he even here? We're one of the strongest Obama supporting states. And Iowa never liked him. (He got 4th here in 2008 and 5th in 2000.) Plus, with his ethanol subsidy gaffe, his name is probably mud here on the best days. I'll let your imagination wander for what he is on his worst days.

Plus, he's trying to look good on the economy. Give me a break! He's said that he doesn't understand economics. (I don't either, but I don't intend to run for public office.) Why should we listen to him, especially since his "strength" of foreign policy looks more like a piece of Swiss cheese?

And, he got here at 3 P.M. today, and he isn't doing anything besides this round-table tomorrow? Shouldn't he be trying to get votes? Or drum up the base? Or running as fast as he can away from the angry mob?

3. The angry mob of farmers have pitchforks
And I don't think he can run very fast.
