GOP plans Iowa blitz
By Ed Tibbetts

.
The nation’s attention will be on Iowa’s Democratic caucuses in about 10 days, but a platoon of prominent Republicans will also flood the state that day.
.
A lineup of a dozen ranking Republicans will land in the state Jan. 19 to visit GOP caucus sites across the state, talking with supporters of President Bush and no doubt spreading an alternative view to the Democratic message.
.
For the past year, with the spotlight on Democrats seeking the party’s 2004 presidential nomination, Republicans and their allies have sought to counter their criticism with a response team of their own. But this influx of Republicans will be their greatest attempt so far to steer the political dialogue. President Bush has no opposition for the GOP nomination.
.
Among the Republicans who will be in Iowa that day: former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Marc Racicot, the chairman of the president’s re-election committee; Ken Mehlman, his campaign manager; Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn.; U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa.; House Majority Leader Tom Delay, R-Texas; and Mary Matalin, an adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney.

1. ha, they couldn't even wait until well into the

Democratic primary season. If they are already going to start fighting this early, this is going to be one really long year.

an aircraft malfunction, happens all the time. Well, it happens to Democrats all the time. This is assuming that they're all taking the same flight. It gets really cold in Iowa this time of year, I hope they de-ice those wings.

9. Racicot = smooth-talking devil

I'm glad the RNC got a new guy because the longer they let Racicot hypnotize people with his pitch, the worse off we were. Gillespie's nothing special.
