Just back from seeing Gov O'Malley in Sioux City

[Peacetrain]

He stood and answered questions.. was so well received by everyone.. He has more executive experience than anyone running ..

His focus on a living wage.. and the environment.. among so many other things.. just makes me more sure of my position in supporting him in the caucuses..

I will see Bernie Sanders on Thursday..I listen to everyone..

But I do like O'Malley

[on point]

1. I like him too. Might be the ideal 'youth' to balance the 'age' risk on the final ticket.

He can also clearly campaign and express clear thoughts on the issues. No waffle words from him.

3. Absolutely, NO WAFFLE!

2. Great to hear this, Peacetrain,

both that you saw him AND that he was well received.

5. This is when it is good to be an Iowan...

We get to meet our candidates up close and personal.. and this was a very good turnout for the kind of venue. standing room only.. He is so blasted knowledgeable.. He not only answers the questions but can give you some historical perspective of how things got to be the way they were..

6. You are so lucky

I have even considered taking a vacation in Iowa and New Hampshire near an election.....just to see it in person......but I've never been able to talk my wife into it.

10. I drove down from Minnesota in 2003 and 2004 to see Dean do some events.

It was completely worth it. You just don't get the same experience if you are not in an early state.

12. I was a little luckier in 2008

I had the opportunity to see President Obama and Sen. Kennedy.

I loved seeing the President to be, but seeing Ted Kennedy was pretty amazing too......He looked pretty frail until he opened his mouth and then we heard the old lion roar.

Hillary went to other parts of the state, so I didn't see her.

8. "Des Moines Register" has a convenient Candidate Schedule Tracker:

But it's just for Iowa events.

Anyone know of one that is nation-wide?

13. Here's one I found:

I've been looking for one as well and this is the best one I've come across:

http://blog.4president.org/2016/

It has candidate events and other press releases from candidates so it isn't a true tracker, but close enough.

15. Thanks ...

While not the easiest to navigate & a bit cumbersome, I think it may serve its purpose.

11. So jealous.

He seems to get good receptions at his events in IA. I am surprised that he polls at only 2% there still.

On twitter, it said he was answering questions on rural issues. Curious how his answers were received and what was asked, if you feel like providing additional details.
