Tons of money has come to Iowa over the years for the Iowa Caucus but the need for speed is pulling the plug and turning off the lights. I hope candidates don't become a scarce as Snowy Owls.

I will not miss endless hours getting ready and training volunteers. I will not miss every bigger better faster more reporting system that never was. I will miss all the young fresh faces working for the candidates. I will miss seeing candidates off camera not talking bullet points and sound bites.

Thank You Dave Nagle and DU Debi

But the caucus ain't dead yet!!
