My phone just rang. I picked up and before I could answer a Mitt Romney recording said hello and invited me to join a conference call that was underway by simply staying on the line. I'm now listening to Romney taking questions from Iowans live on this conference call. You can punch a button if you want to ask a question and someone will come on the line. This is pretty cool. Sure wish it was Ron Paul instead.

This would be an excellent thing for Ron Paul to do. He wouldn't even have to be in Iowa to do this. Dave, is it possible to get this suggestion to someone in IOWA HQ?

OH REALLY??? asking about illegal immigration and anchor babies.. you mean, WHAT I BEEN SAYING FOR WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!! That Ron Paul is flaking on even though he has strong stances on it!!! He even has an amendement for anchor babies.. It is beyond me why he isn't hitting it up more on this angle. Romney is a HUGE flip flopper....

Ron Paul BETTER kick their asses on Illegal Immigration and Anchor Babies... He better say what he knows and what he has done during the debates...
....
RON PAUL better start hitting it up.. AND get a harder stance on the ISSUES HE ALREADY SUPPORTS!!!!!!!

Please people, somebody get that message to his staff... arggghhh.. frustrating.

I agree. I don't understand why he isn't doing this. I hope he stops just waiting until someone asks him the right question. He's got to get the facts out there on his stances, regardless of what he is asked.
 
Lots of candidates on the ground in Iowa this weekend - most interesting is the fact that Duncan Hunter is here, who hasn't spent a bunch of time in Iowa. I was kind of writing him off but he's touring all over the state this weekend.

Also interesting that John McCain is here. He's skipping Ames, of course, and has not been in Iowa for a month.

John Edwards' wife says she's going to say what's on her mind and that she doesn't like it when candidates don't answer questions. Is she running for something?

Tancredo is running some kind of "Iowa Idol' competition all over the state to try to get the younger crowd to turn out for him in Ames.

Brownback took some time out of his schedule to pull the rope on some old 6-foot long cannon.

You can't make this stuff up.
 
These guys are crazy about winning that straw poll.

How amazing would it be if after all these candidates are traveling and basically living in iowa for months and doing these inane stunts just to be seen by voters, that Ron Paul beats them all ???

I would laugh and cry at the same time. It would be magical if that were to happen.

can't bet on that though, we need to keep busting our asses and hope that dr. paul spends some time in iowa himself.
 
Today the Des Moines Register continued their feature (2nd in a series) where they have a big table comparing the candidates' stands on this issues. Ron Paul was LEFT OFF the table!

Wait, it gets worse. The featured topic today was health care. No, don't ask the only physician in the running anything about health care.

Wait, it gets worse yet. The only list 7 candidates and they include Giuliani and McCain. It says right at the top of the table that this is the paper's effort to distinguish the candidates in advance of the Ames Straw Poll. I guess nobody told them that Giuliani and McCain aren't participating!

The table also includes Brownback, Huckabee, Romney, Tancredo, and T. Thompson. Ron Paul has more money in the bank than 4 of these guys combined! And since when has Tancredo talked about anything but illegal immigration?

This is supposedly 'the paper Iowa depends on'. What unbelievably lazy journalism.
 
This kinds of stuff really highlights why EVERY PERSON ON THIS FORUM needs to join the Iowa mailing or telephone efforts.

Is anyone in the Iowa Meetup Group or the Iowa campaign office planning on contacting them???? I hope. This is a horrible omission by the newspaper and they need to correct it by printing one hell of a good article all about Dr. Paul's stances on the issues!

Here is the article in question:

http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070722/NEWS09/707220350/-1/caucus

I just sent the author a note to tell him very nicely that he inadvertently left out Dr. Paul, the only M.D. in the race.

Yes, that is the article. I wish they put the nice,big table comparing the candidates online but it's only in the print version.

I will contact the author as well.

BTW Tom Tancredo is live on WHO radio this morning.
 
Well, Tancredo is done on WHO. He was talking about abortion (apparently Brownback questioned his pro-life stance) and trying to outlaw birthright citizenship.

Now Duncan Hunter is live on WHO promising to finish the border fence and talking about the border patrol agents that are in jail for shooting and injuring a drug smuggler breaking into our country.

I wonder if these two slugged each other as they passed outside the studio!

Duncan Hunter is suddenly spending a bunch of time in Iowa. He was one I thought for sure we could beat but he's working Iowa hard right now.

But we have hundreds (if not thousands) of people calling / mailing these Iowans, Dr. Paul is working hard in Iowa without even being there......where is he anyway?
 
Iowa State Fair

Aug 9th and 10th, before straw poll might be a good spot for Iowans supporting Ron to get the message out, I think he outta show up there as well, maybe they could give him the stage at the fair for an hour. A freedom rally at the state fair with raucus supportors? Any thoughts.

yes.. what if he shows up in the morning [before voting] or day before and just pound away for like TWO HOURS on a grand stage, just let it loose... that'd be awesome!:D

I suppose he's in Congress, which I think is close to a summer recess. It sounds like he will spend a lot of time here between the Aug. 5 debate and the Aug. 11 straw poll. This is good but I'm sure every candidate will be here that whole week, too, so it will be hard to get as much attention.


BTW, Iowa RP supporters are transporting 4x8 signs up to north-central Iowa today to work RAGBRAI, a huge bike ride/party across Iowa that features over 20,000 riders. Lance Armstrong is along this year, too. We have RP supporters that live in some of the towns along the way and they're doing their job this week!

yes.. but I think the key is weith the calling. How many Iowan numbes do we have? 1.2 million? If we get through all of those numbers, I find it hard to believe that we wouldn't win in a landslide.

That's good about the Iowan RP supporters though... good to know
