I've made a booking to go to the Iowa GOP Straw Poll in August...

The circus never seems to come to NY so I have to go in search of it. We'll be in New Hampshire for the Primary, but I suspect some of the low-hanging fruit will already be gone...

You've already revealed details that indicate you're part of the campaign in some capacity. Transparency engenders trust.

I'm a supporter with connections to the campaign, and have been hosting staff who are settling in at the campaign office, but nothing more official than that. This trip is political tourism.

I have some friends who worked for Obama in Iowa in 2008 and they have some great stories.

you can rideshare with someone from your area. Place an ad on Craigslist: Seeking clown car driver for trip to the midwest.

Good luck and have fun.
