Iowa caucuses

Good morning. . .What a historical night in Iowa!. . .For those of you who feel the urge to show your students what happened in Iowa last night, www.c-span.org has the post-caucus speeches of last night's big five: Obama, Edwards, Clinton, Huckabee, and Romney. . .Remember, the New Hampshire primary is next Tuesday, January 8th. . .During an election year, C-Span is an invaluable aid. . .Btw, Erik Erickson of Como Park took 27 students to Mason City, Iowa yesterday (Cerro Gordo county for those of us who have done time in Iowa--lol)--see yesterday's Pioneer Press. . .I just want to remind this crew that Minnesota has precinct caucuses on Tuesday, February 5th. . .You don't have to cross state lines to observe, or participate in, the caucus phenomenon. . .Why someone felt the need to drive south on I-35 for anything more than a pork tenderloin sandwich is beyond me. . .Remember, the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the caucus hill. . .drfaust
