Thanks for an interesting behind the scenes tour of the CBS News nerve center in Des Moines.
It almost looks as if the CBS News people are holding a caucus, but I don''t see any baked ziti, cookies or apple pie around,and I don''t see anybody discussing candidates.

The group segment with the fine 13 Iowans was very interesting and it was good to hear them discussing their Mid West perspectives and their opinions on the candidates and the issues. I''m sure they''ll all make very good caucussers and caucussees.

And I hope your beautiful flowing red scarf helped keep you warm in this sudden cold spell. It looks like Santa Claus knew just what you would need on the cold, sometimes raucous, caucus campaign trail,

America deserves honest men of integrity that will fight for all Americans. Edwards is a true patriot that can make America great, he has the substinance, determination, and will to fight greed, corruption and end the outsourcing of our jobs, His economic, education, health and welfare policies are now being copied by all the candidates. Edwards spoke out months and even years before the others. America needs to think about why are the "Washington Greed, Corruption, Large Corporations and Media" trying to make this a two candidate Democratic race? Edwards is the only one able to win the Presidency from the democratic side, and any republican that is nominated will beat Clinton and/or Obama. Elect someone that cares about America and will make it great for all, John Edwards.; Reply to this comment
