Romney on the Ground

Walked two precincts today. Over the course of the day the temperature doubled--from 7 to 14 degrees. I stopped in for a salad at a McDonalds with a tropical theme--balmy.

Speaker Hastert came by mid-day to rally us working Iowa City and surrounds for Romney. It was his birthday so we sang for him. I shook his hand and told him I was in from Illinois, New Trier township so he got a kick out of that. He was off to meet Mitt at the airport, which my friend Jason covered here.

As a group we made serious progress on our precincts--just a few left to finish in the morning. Lots of volunteers streamed in to make phone calls as well and we should have good precinct coverage for the caucuses.
