Not quite, as John Deeth writes today.
Weren’t reading Iowa Indy over the holiday week last week? Here’s what you missed:
Several profiles of candidates’ family members as part of Lynda Waddington’s “All in the Family” series: Cate Edwards, Jill Biden, Craig and Mary Romney, Jackie Dodd, Hunter Biden, and Barbara Richardson. And Doug Burns [...]

In last night’s Democratic presidential debate, Sen. Hillary Clinton was prepared for anything her opponents threw at her. The first ten minutes set the tone of the rest of the night, as both Clinton herself and her fans in the audience slapped down any overt attempts to criticize her. It changed the dynamics [...]

Wednesday night’s debate was the best high-stakes (DNC sanctioned, nationally televised) debate yet. And it demonstrated one counterintuitive fact about debate formats: candidates seem more like windbags when they have time limits (that is, when they have a specific block of time they are allotted no matter what they are saying) than when the [...]

Tonight’s Democratic debate, in which candidates stick it to the man on issues like health care, climate change, taxes, etc., has been brought to us by the following companies:

This is the first all-Spanish release I have received from a presidential campaign this year, and I find it interesting that [...]

Iowa Independent’s Jay Wagner was one of seven people to attend Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo’s appearance at the country club in Sibley, IA, over the weekend. The seven people included “two county Republican committee members, three journalists and a smiling couple wearing Tancredo for President t-shirts.”
And he insisted that although his focus on immigration [...]

Sen. Hillary Clinton has been receiving the most media attention among Democratic presidential candidates this week because of her new health care plan. Sen. Barack Obama was featured on NBC Nightly News Monday night to talk about, among other things, the tax proposal he is rolling out this week. Meanwhile, the national media [...]

I was at Sen. Hillary Clinton’s health care policy rollout in Des Moines this morning. Maybe I’m just looking for pandering where I shouldn’t be, but the angle I took in my write-up on Iowa Independent has to do with the imminent SEIU endorsement decision. Clinton flies directly from Des Moines to Washington, [...]
