1. Oprah bussed them all in

Don't these people spend 16 hours a day carefully parsing polling reports and viciously analyzing Obama's words for ideological impurity? The fuckers doomed! Dodd will pass him soon! I read it somewhere on Matt Stoller's blog!

2. That is such a pretty spot.

My daughter had so much fun when she went to school there, meeting all the Democratic candidates.

I am envious all over again.

8. I spent most of the 80s at Iowa State

and spent a good chunk of that time walking (and sometimes running) across central campus -- I had 3 majors and took 18-20 credits every semester I was there, so my days were pretty full.

3. Looks like a lot of very young people. the question is will there lazy ass's vote

4. What would you expect at Iowa State University, bigdarryl. Obama later met with seniors, high school

students. Why insult young people? They are the key to a big Democratic win.
