Heading to Iowa

posted by on January 1 at 5:10 AM

I’m on my way back to Iowa, on a trip that begins with the whimper-inducing departure time above and should deliver me—much, much later tonight—into the seat of a bus rolling through rural Iowa on John Edwards’ all-night “Marathon for the Middle Class” tour. (Somewhere in Seattle, Jenny Durkan is smiling.)

Here’s the story from my last trip to Iowa. For this trip I’ve actually remembered to bring along the digital camera, so I hope to post images of my journey with the Edwards campaign and other Iowa adventures as we head toward the caucuses on Thursday. (Assuming my hands can even hold a camera in this weather.)

Hope you also make time to see Obama as he is going to win Iowa and you'll have some understanding of why.

Weather? You call that weather? Sheesh, you Seattleites are all wimps. It's -5° here in Denver right now.

And I thought waking up at 6:45am to watch Manchester United was early...have fun, Eli!

Yes, have fun. Dress warmly. Don't believe the hype. Say hi to Joel Connelly for me. And once the caucuses end, pretend you always knew Edwards/Obama/Clinton was going to win. I have to admit I'm a little bit jealous.
