C minus 56 and counting

Well, I had hoped to get to an Ann Romney speech yesterday, but did not make it, which was a shame. The sense that things might not be quite so inevitable for Hillary seems to be growing, or is at least providing good subjects for columns by the inestimable David Yepsen in the Des Moines Register. Of course, with eight weeks to go, this should not be surprising. Four years ago, Dean would have seemed inevitable to many, and we all know where that went...
In other news, Barack Obama was late for a speech at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, because his plane had landed in Des Moines instead of Cedar Rapids. I can understand that sort of error if you are coming from a long way away, but he was coming from Chicago, for heaven's sake! Someone in his campaign needs to get on top of this Iowa geography stuff if he is going to be successful here.
Other than that, a relatively quiet day in Iowa, so far...
