Speaking of the Dem Convention - Does anyone know of a listing of DNC events that is out there?

The best list for events during the DNC I've run across so far is at

http://www.metrohikers.com/...

you need to do the free registration for the site, but the event list looks pretty decent and apparently it's updated daily.

if there's anything else out there...please share!

Iowa is NOT representative of the rest of the nation. It should not be guaranteed anything. Look at the mess in the Democratic party now all because of Iowa and its support of the empty suit Obama !!! Primaries should be on a rotating basis and all these caucus states that breed corruption - look at Texas in particular- should be eliminated. Every state should have a CLOSED primary with the same rules for all !!!

Why do you think that Iowa should deserve a permanent spot as the first primary/caucus? Are you somehow more special that the other 300 million US citizens?

The only fair thing to do is have a system of rotating primaries.
