Iowa Caucus Day 6: January 2, 2008

The day before the Iowa Caucus has finally arrived and we are all making our final push in order to get Fred to place in the caucus. As Bob House, our Iowa State Director, put it: "We have three tickets out of Iowa - first class, business class, and coach." Whichever one we get, we need to be on the plane and that's what we are working to do.

Today I got to drive up to a city in Iowa to coordinate another phone bank in Sioux City, IA. I had the pleasure of driving up with a fellow Nashvillian - Woody Woodruff. Woody is the corporate secretary and assistant treasurer for the Campaign. He was Fred's legal advisor to his Senate Campaign, as well as being a Partner at Waller Law.
We had a great time going three hours to Sioux City. We had a great group of volunteers helping us make phone calls and it was great to meet people throughout Iowa. We met two precint captains as well as a county commissioner. One great thing about having volunteers come out to Iowa is that we can put out a bunch of satellite phone banks around the state, which would not have been possible otherwise.

Woody and I got back around midnight. I went to sleep around 1pm. Time for the big dance.
