I talked about this on Taylor Marsh’s show Wednesday (in case you didn’t know, I’m Taylor’s regular Wednesday guest), and now NBC News has the tip. Former Sen. John Edwards will receive the endorsement of the SEIU’s Iowa Local Monday:
At 5:30pm Monday ET in Iowa city, John Edwards will get SEIU-Iowa nod and the [...]

Sen. Joe Biden may have had his nihilator gators on Friday, because, to quote Snoop Dogg’s remix of 50 Cent’s “P.I.M.P.,” his “pimp hand” was “way strong.” (I didn’t want to quote from misogynous rap lyrics to describe what happened, but I can’t think of better language to describe what I witnessed.) The [...]

This got past me, because Gov. Mitt Romney had worked so hard to cultivate his image as the one GOP front-runner who is spending time in Iowa. But according to the Washington Post’s candidate tracker, Romney has spent only three days in Iowa (all in mid-September) over the past two months. At some [...]

This week has been a big one for state legislative endorsements in Iowa. Sen. Joe Biden’s campaign announced State Rep. McKinley Bailey’s endorsement Thursday. Bailey is a veteran of the Iraq War, but he isn’t the only Iraq vet to endorse this week: State Rep. Ray Zirkelbach, who served in Iraq during the [...]

Sen. Barack Obama penned an op-ed in today’s Manchester Union-Leader in which he names names:
Sen. Clinton says she was merely voting for more diplomacy, not war with Iran. If this has a familiar ring, it should. Five years after the original vote for war in Iraq, Sen. Clinton has argued that her vote was not [...]

It’s a story I have known about for a while, but I waited until I could verify the quotes from the story independently before running it: Clinton campaign chair Terry McAuliffe said in no uncertain terms during an appearance in Grinnell, IA, that Sen. Hillary Clinton would not take back her vote because of her [...]

Gov. Bill Richardson wears the American flag lapel pin, and he thinks “it’s perfectly good to wear it.” I wonder if wearing a lapel pin on CNN’s Situation Room was a coincidence, or if he thought there was a chance someone might ask him about it…
CNN’s Don Lemon: I see you’re wearing your [...]

Although almost every Democratic presidential candidate has taken his or her name off the Michigan ballot today (the deadline is at 3PM central — a little under an hour from now), Sen. Hillary Clinton will not. Keeping her name on the ballot does not technically violate the early state pledge she and the other [...]

NBC Nightly News is reporting right now that the Iowa Caucuses are going to be held January 3. No one I know in Iowa thinks the date is set. Yes, a majority of the members of the Iowa GOP’s State Central Committee currently supports January 3, according to State Chair Ray Hoffman, but [...]
