[cyberswede]

Des Moines – Chairman Scott Brennan announced today that the Iowa Democratic Party has postponed its State Convention due to the massive flooding and severe weather across Iowa.

“In the interest of public safety and out of concern for Iowans impacted by the flooding and severe weather, we have decided to postpone the Iowa Democratic Party State Convention,” said Brennan. “As Iowans, we encourage everyone to work hand in hand with their neighbors on flood relief efforts across our state.”

The Iowa Democratic Party will announce a new date and venue for the convention in the coming days.

3. My wife was going to go. I was wondering if she was going to get

there on a steamboat. Or canoe.

4. I've rec'd two calls, so far...

I'm not suprised!

Looks like the water may recede after this weekend, here in DMS.

Cedar Rapids looks so much worse, and they are getting a great deal more rain, right now.

I've been looking at the CR pictures and I'm just completely blown away. Six feet of
water downtown, power outages, railway bridges collapsing, power outages and people
are forced to limit power/water use.

Thoughts and prayers with all Cedar Rapidians and others in the surrounding towns--and
Iowa City, too!

5. The republicans are still going to go since they can all

walk on water.
