- Dean - An Editorial Defending Dean's Iowa Caucus Speech (CBS News - Meyer)
"I'm not being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian, honest. But I don't think Howard Dean's 'I Have A Scream' performance was weird, troubling, scary, revealing or nuts. I don't think it was a big deal in any way, shape or form. I thought it was standard pump-up-the-troops campaign stuff."
"What I do think is bizarre is the hubbub it caused."
"I've looked at the tape many times and that's how it plays for me. Sure, if he had done it during a State of the Union speech or an appearance before the Council on Foreign Relations, it would have been crazy. But this was a rally. So spare me."
"I've seen a lot of politicians do a lot weirder things."
"I wish Dean hadn't renounced the Scream. His wife said it was 'silly' and I think that's about the full extent of it." 1-04

- Sac and Fox Nation of Iowa (Healy)

He would be in charge of council meetings whenever war oriented topics were discussed. The third tribal leader, not symbolized in the flag, was the ceremonial leader or shaman. The shaman was the keeper of the religious rites and instructed others in the various rituals of the tribe." 10-04

- Ethanol from Switchgrass or Corn Stover (Iowa State University - Baker)
"The energy balance from corn, then, is slightly positive. However, ethanol can also be derived from another source, namely, cellulosic feedstocks such as corn stover or switchgrass. In this case, the energy balance is much improved, as shown in Table 1 of this paper by McLaughlin and Walsh. Their data show that while the energy gain from corn grain is 21%, the energy gain from converting switchgrass to ethanol is 343%!” Visitors sometimes spell as switch grass. 01-06

- Republican Victory - Next Steps for Democrats (MSNBC News - Curry)
"With Tuesday’s Republican take-over of the Senate, the Democrats have lost their ability to set a legislative agenda and gain publicity through Senate hearings. The energy of the party’s most talented activists will shift to Iowa and New Hampshire, where the first contests of the 2004 presidential nominating process will take place in only 14 months." Highlights Senator John Edwards as a potential contender for president in 2004. 11-02
- 01-16-04 Dean and Gephardt Pull Negative Ads (USA Today)
"Democratic presidential rivals Howard Dean and Dick Gephardt declared a truce in their air war Friday, pulling negative ads from Iowa television in the closing days of a remarkably tight caucus race."
"The stakes are highest for Gephardt, who won the 1988 caucuses by four percentage points — a landslide in comparison to where the race stood Friday. A defeat would effectively end the Missouri lawmaker's 28-year political career, aides said." 1-04
- Kerry's Military Advantage (CBS News - Kuhn)
"It is John Kerry the veteran who thinks he can win this Democratic race."
"He thinks it was not only the key to his comeback in Iowa, it could well be the key to victory in New Hampshire. Most importantly, he and those stumping for him, think it is the bridge that will bring him to the South." 1-04
- Edwards Watch (CBS News - Rather)
"The press herd has thundered toward Kerry. With good reason: New England regional favorite Senator John Kerry, from neighboring Massachusetts, roared into New Hampshire fueled by his hard-won, upset first-place showing in Iowa. The herd loves a frontrunner so, true to form, hoof beats abound around Kerry now."
By any objective analysis, Kerry is the candidate of the moment. He deserves to be. He earned it. But if you’re looking for the candidate of the next moment, you might want to keep your eyes on Senator John Edwards."
Edwards’ showing in Iowa was at least as impressive as Kerry’s; perhaps more so, when one considers that Edwards had less money, less organization, and came from further back in the polls." 1-04
- 01-30-04 Kerry and Edwards Garnered Favorable Media Coverage (CMPA.com - Felling)
"Prior to their surprising Iowa caucus performances, 98 percent of the network evening news coverage of Democratic Presidential candidates John Kerry and John Edwards was positive, according to research conducted by the Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA).

"This report examines the 91 stories broadcast on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening news from January 1st through January 18th, the night before the Iowa caucus." 1-04
- Editorial - War Records - Bush and Kerry (MSNBC News - Clift)
"Kerry is accompanied on the campaign trail by the men he served with in the Mekong Delta [during the Vietnam war]." "Kerry's candidacy was elevated when a former Green Beret whose life he saved showed up on the campaign trail in Iowa to attest to Kerry's courage. In addition, former Georgia senator Max Cleland, who lost three limbs in Vietnam and was defeated in 2002 after GOP attacks on his patriotism, appears regularly with Kerry."
"There is another chapter to Kerry's war history that Republicans are examining, and that is his leadership in 1971 of Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Some GOP strategists envision television ads linking Kerry with Jane Fonda in order to undermine his credentials as a decorated war veteran."
"Highlighting Kerry's antiwar activism is a risky strategy for the Republicans. If the election turns into a debate over war records, Bush can't win."
"Boston Globe reporter Walter Robinson did an exhaustive study of Bush's military service, which was published in May 2000. Robinson concluded that during Bush's final 18 months in the Texas Air National Guard in 1972 and 1973, he did not fly at all and was 'all but unaccounted for,' with no records to indicate that he attended any of the required drills." "Under the rules at the time, guardsmen who miss duty were supposed to be reported and could then be drafted." "In fairness, Bush has been candid about why he enlisted in the Air National Guard. Like many young men of his generation, he wanted to avoid Vietnam. He told one reporter, 'I was not prepared to shoot my eardrum out with a shotgun in order to get a deferment. Nor was I willing to go to Canada. So I chose to better myself by learning how to fly airplanes.' " 1-04
- Persons Behind Kerry's Lead (MSNBC News - Curry)

- 09-15-04 Senate Committee Blocks Bush Overtime Rules (USA Today)
"A Senate committee defied President Bush and voted Wednesday to derail new federal overtime rules that critics say would prevent 6 million American workers from getting the bonus pay."
"The language was offered by Sen. Tom Harkin, D- Iowa, who said new Bush administration overtime rules that took effect on Aug. 23 would deny the extra pay to many workers who had received it."
"Harkin said the new rules are "anti-worker, anti-job growth, and anything but family friendly." 9-04

- -05-10-06 "Dangerous" Security Hole Found in Diebold Election Software (InsideBayArea.com)
"Elections officials in several states are scrambling to understand and limit the risk from a "dangerous" security hole found in Diebold Election Systems Inc.'s ATM-like touch-screen voting machines."
" 'This one is worse than any of the others I've seen. It's more fundamental,' said Douglas Jones, a University of Iowa computer scientist and veteran voting-system examiner for the state of Iowa.
" 'In the other ones, we've been arguing about the security of the locks on the front door," Jones said. "Now we find that there's no back door." 05-06

- Democrat - Barack Obama Gains Oprah's Endorsement (Time.com)
Winfrey's endorsement — and her announcement that she will appear with Obama at campaign events in Iowa, South Carolina, and New Hampshire on December 8 and 9 — helps bring the following four things to Obama: campaign cash, celebrity, excitement and big crowds."
"The four things that Obama has on his own in great abundance — without Winfrey's help — are campaign cash, celebrity, excitement and big crowds. "
"But a more important event for his chances of winning might actually be taking place on Tuesday of this week, when he appears in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with some of his top foreign policy advisers for a forum with local residents." 12-07
- -01-04-08 Obama's Historic Victory (Time.com)

- -08-07-08 McCain Ads: Subliminal Message or Innocent Levity? (Time.com)
"Sapp knows that the phrasing and images could just be dismissed as a peculiar coincidence. After all, it was Oprah Winfrey who told an Iowa crowd that Obama was 'the one!' But, he insists, 'the frequency of these images and references don't make any sense unless you're trying to send the message that Obama could be the Antichrist.' Mara Vanderslice, another Democratic consultant who handled religious outreach for the 2004 Kerry campaign, agrees. 'If they wanted to be funny, if they really wanted to play up the idea that Obama thinks he's the Second Coming, there were better ways to do it,' she says. 'Why use these awkward lines like, "And the world will receive his blessings"?' 08-08
- -011-04-09 Supreme Court Split on Rogue Prosecutors (Christian Science Monitor)

- -05-26-05 Lawsuits Against Counties Abusing Detainees (ABC News)
"Linda Rose says she spent three hours crouched in the corner of a concrete cell at the Saginaw County Jail, shivering and sobbing, after deputies stripped her of her clothes and left her naked in front of a surveillance camera."
"In a class-action lawsuit against the San Francisco County Jail, hundreds of people say they were left naked in isolation for extended periods. In Iowa, a woman was awarded $2,500 after a federal jury found her privacy had been violated in 1996 when jail guards strapped her naked in spread-eagle fashion to a restraining board."
"In Saginaw, inmates placed in an isolation cell because of threatening or disruptive behavior automatically were forced to strip, regardless of whether guards believed the person might attempt suicide. Such a blanket policy of naked detention for troublemakers is highly unusual, said Richard Tewksbury, a corrections expert at the University of Louisville." 5-05
