on the ground, romneying like we do

So we got together and decided that what good was a canadian supporting mitt romney site if we didn't win the Iowa caucus, the proverbial catalyst for the Romney strategy. So we pooled our resources and had enough to buy me hitchhikers pass all the way to Iowa. I sit here in my plush condo (ummm) after a day of working out of Romney HQ Iowa, making phone calls, knocking doors, eating lunch, making more phone calls, etc. Let me tell you, it doesn't get any better than this.

The great thing about being here is the urgency in the air. Working side by side with some of these people who have been here for weeks and knowing that the big dance is in less than 24 hours, it's pretty exciting.

So I phone called and worked the beat, seeking out all republicans worth their american flag patch that should be sewn on a backpack to try and convince them of the joys that are Mitt Romney. His wife Ann came in about midway through the day to buoy up the supporters which had grown about 250 strong.

But then things got good, when we hit the jackpot, a Romney Rally right here in Des Moines. We got the hoopla from all the intro folks, some guy talked about how he changed his life, delivered his baby, and cured cancer, or something along those lines, and then the big boy himself, the genesis of hope this side of the border, the breast milk of politics, Mitt Romney comes out. It was pretty great, I mean politics and speeches mixing normally makes for mediocre fun, or in the case of Huckabee, hilarity ensues, but dang diggity, this guy secured every vote in the room all over again. Made us all proud to be supporting a candidate that we can trust to actually fix some washington blunders and put ole USA back on track.



All was not well however, we found some trouble in the crowd, but he was quickly dealt with.


Can you blame him though, I mean someone had to keep an eye on things while Huckabee was playing hollywood wannabe (see leno?)

Anyway, that's the update for now, 2am, Des Moines, working straight through till the Iowa Caucus tomorrow at 7. Next post will be during the victory party tomorrow night. Ahhh yeah.
