“I never said that,” Palin said, briefly dropping her folksy shtick. “You guys brought me here to talk about Iowa politics and the caucus tonight, not to talk about my kids. And that was a promise. But as things go in the world of media, you guys don’t always keep your promises, evidently. I never blamed President Obama.”
They go to great lengths to know the size of all the tiny towns the candidates stopped in, but fail to mention that about 500,000 people live within commuting distance of Des Moines, another 500,000 live within commuting distance of Davenport, and about the same within commuting distance of Cedar Rapids/Iowa City. And then another few hundred thousand live within the 900K population of the Omaha metro area. These are not "major" cities but seriously we have blight and crime and all the same problems as what people deem to be actual "real" cities, and the populations I just mentioned probably easily account for over half the state's population.A banner for sale at Raygun, a small Iowa chain of novelty stores specializing in politically themed T-shirts and other campaign paraphernalia, captures the prevailing attitude of locals toward the would-be leaders of the free world: “Iowa! For some reason you have to come here to be president.” A T-shirt expresses the same sentiment toward the correspondents and bloggers who follow in the candidates’ wake: “Sorry to interrupt your meal, but are you alive and have an opinion on the election?”
It was at a Raygun store that Adam Peters of Iowa City bought the Berniehead shirt that has made him a sensation on Reddit: a black tee covered with pictures of the Vermont senator wearing variations on his characteristic expression, the one that seems to be saying: I ordered my tea 10 minutes ago, young lady! Peters got himself photographed wearing the shirt to Sanders rallies all over the state and soon became a minor political celebrity on social media in his own right, notwithstanding that, as Peters learned from a campaign staffer, Sanders actually thinks the shirt is creepy.
