Elizabeth Edwards Headlines Harkin Feast

[Rose Siding]

INDIANOLA, Iowa -- Elizabeth Edwards touted a Democratic commitment to bolster rural health care Sunday, arguing that both nominee John Kerry and running mate John Edwards have long ties to rural America that give them credibility.

Mrs. Edwards said her husband and Kerry virtually moved to Iowa when they campaigned for Iowa's leadoff caucuses, and have nurtured close ties to the state.

The Harkin Steak Fry is traditionally used to energize Democratic activists less than two months before an election the polls show is too close to call in Iowa.

1. Oh dear, I thought this headline meant the *other* Harkin.

My bad!

2. My daughter was at the Harkin Steak Fry today.

She had her picture taken with Elizabeth Edwards. I will post it when she gives it to me.

She also heard Sheryl Crowe sing today. Tom Arnold spoke. I can't remember who else she said was there. Last year, she met Bill Clinton at the steak fry.

She works hard for the Democrats in Iowa. I am proud.

3. You should be proud!

Your daughter is doing a terrific job! Too bad, we all couldn't be there today.

4. I was there last year and just loved it.

Unfortunately I had prior commitments that kept me away this year. But in 2005 I hope to go again.
