Joe Biden is going all in for the smaller communities and it may pay off

much more than many of us realized. In a state like Iowa, we have a huge number of small towns and one real city.. Des Moines.. Cedar Rapids and Sioux City would be suburbs for places like Minneapolis.

Reaching out to the small communities and getting a good response in these small communities is a way to boost numbers in Iowa. That is a for sure! The top 4 are all bunched together. It will be interesting to see the next set of poll numbers after the bus tour.

Nothing like asking for your vote over a handshake and a look in the eyes.

Love you Joe

and Joe has been here before and knows how the land lays so to speak. You have two options. Blow the doors off and hope people stay focused. (Barack Obama blew the doors off..).. or wait a while and then make sure your face is the last face anyone sees.. That people have your plans in their minds when they go to caucus. Because we do not go in and vote in silence and leave.. it is a chew fest so to speak.. Those top 4 are so close. sixty some days left. Its going to be interesting

Any of the top 4 could get the lead, but it definitely going to be a split of delegates out of here.

I hope/trust there is someone monitoring him - counting the scheduled public minutes like they count pitches for a pitcher. When he hits a predetermined limit, that's either it for the day or the extra minutes he goes over get subtracted from the next day's schedule.

The campaign is a marathon and you can't be sprinting at the start just because you still feel good.

President Obama made his bones by visiting a lot of small places. The notion that a big city rally is more valuable than hitting several small and medium sized towns and cities is misplaced.
