2008 activity heating up in Iowa


Liberal candidate John Edwards will be making four campaign stops in eastern Iowa over April 8th & 9th. Edwards has been a very frequent visitor to the Hawkeye state in hopes of improving his 2004 showing. Fellow Lib Mark Warner, a former Virginia governor will be making his Iowa debut on April 20th in Des Moines. Wes Clark will be visiting Iowa in May.

Another former Virginia governor, Sen. George Allen will be appearing at the GOP state convention in Des Moines on June 17th. District conventions will be held on April 22nd & I wouldn't be surprised to see a candidate of two make an appearance. Mass. Gov. George Romney made the rounds at several of the county conventions on March 11th. Romney will be coming back to Iowa in May.

President George W. Bush will be appearing at a $250 a plate fundraiser for gubernatorial candidate, Congressman Jim Nussle in Des Moines on April 11th.
