Politicos head for Iowa

<snip>

While Iowa may not qualify as a "big state," its caucuses are historically the first nominating events in the country, and Iowa is a state that may be up for grabs.

"One of the things to keep in mind about Iowa, there are red states and blue states, but Iowa is about as purple as you can be," Shipan said.

As of late, Feingold has become entangled in controversy sparked his call for a censure of President Bush because the National Security Agency's domestic-wiretapping program - an initiative Bush authorized. A censure, unlike the more severe impeachment, is a congressional statement of disapproval for the president's actions.

Loebsack has supported Feingold's censure measure, which Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, also supported.

+++++++++++++++++++++

Read the piece b/c there is more about Loebsack but DU rules made me choose between the Senator and the future Congressman - Fenigold's visit is obvious good news for Loebsack!! d.

4. Did you get a picture?

If you didn't get a picture then it didn't officially take place.

Am I right?:shrug:

5. The FBI got pictures.

Should I call them?

[pstans]

6. Nah

If you visit DU they are probably already wiretapping your phones.

8. I have assumed from the outset

that my postings (since inception of Bush regime) and emails have always been scrutinized.
