    I don't see why this is an issue... If you are going comment about places candidates may or may not have visited during the campaign and the potential impact on votes are you also going to make a case for the thousands of votes that may be lost because some Democratic candidates, namely Obama, decided to skip the AARP debates and the questions of seniors?


    Your own report indicates that Hillary did not ignore the U of Iowa campus as she did visit and has sent personal representatives there as recently as this week. Obama, however, choose to simply ignore seniors by skipping the AARP event, and this is a voting block who are the most reliable in the caucuses.


    Who do you think has actually influenced more voters to vote for someone else?

    chris Not really. she is busy in touring the state and spreding her word. I see plenty of students in her campaign stops. The same can be said about Obama skipping AARP meeting and many other things. this is plain nonsense. you are being dishonest when you say it that way.

    Also Iowa City Foreign Relations Council At the Iowa City Foreign Relations Council, where Richardson just spoke, it was noted that they'd invited the top six Democrats and Biden, Dodd, Edwards and Obama have done events.  What name is missing?


    (They also invited the top six GOP and there were no takers.)

    Even in April, HC was unfriendly to questions Even in April, HC was unfriendly to antiwar sentiment and the real questions.  People I know who had attended a Des Moines appearance earlier that day said that the same child/young teen was called on and asked the very same question at both appearances.  What a farce. 


    I was not allowed to bring in an antiwar sign.  "No homemade signs allowed," they said.  "Oh--so I could bring in a John Edwards sign if it wasn't homemade?"  Dead silence.
