I've been in Iowa for a week, doing whatever it takes to win Iowa and the Democratic Nomination for Senator Joe Biden. As everybody here at BlueNC knows, I believe in Joe.

I'm beyond talking about Chuck Grassley and Tom Carper's Bankruptcy Bill, or the Clarence Thomas hearings that were cut short by Anita Hill's team. I'm beyond pedantic enucleations of back-door bureaucratic negotiations. I'm way beyond Hillary bashing. I'm not even asking for money. Instead, I'm going to tell you a story that in some ways goes back to a young college student in his small town's only diner, and in other ways goes back to a young man growing up in Delaware. Hopefully, you will indulge me as I go back in to my past, our past, and Joe Biden's past with some of my recollections and a few quotes that help tell the story. To those enamored with brevity, I apologize for the commodious topics covered in this diary. I think it's a rewarding read, but it's not for the faint of heart. Perhaps it will tell you more about a great Democratic Senator and a little about ourselves. And so it begins ...

Presidential hopeful Romney, like all Republican candidates, vigorously supported sending more of our loved ones to Iraq. During his recent "Ask Mitt Anything" tour in Bettendorf, Iowa he was asked: "Are any of your five sons currently serving in the United States military and if not, are any of them planning to support the war on terror by enlisting in the United States Military?" Romney's answer below the fold...

I highly reccomend that everyone take a look over at this diary on kos. The quick summary is that the Edwards campaign is sending DVDs to 70,000 Iowa houses. In the first campaign mailing of the 08 cycle, the Edwards campaign has put a 6 minute introductory video on his Health Care plan together and sent it to the most likely caucus attendees.

From the Des Moines Register this morning..

Their newest Iowa poll has John Edwards up by a lot!

Edwards 36%
Clinton 16%
Obama 13%
Vilsack 9%

I hope the media doesn't turn on Edwards if he slips a few points. That seems inevitable with such a big early lead.
