Who needs more entertainment at the caucuses?
"It could be a really big deal," said Greg Edwards, president of the Greater Des Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Universal derision in the Iowa blogosphere today - particularly at the Britney Spears idea. Dropping the name of the shallowest famous-for-being-famous person in entertainment is just plain condescending to every caucusgoer in the state.
(I mean, seriously. She had ONE major hit EIGHT years ago, and mid-twenties is a bit long in the tooth to be milking a career founded on the Jailbait Fantasy.)
Lee Greenwood is clearly mentioned as the GOP ticket balancer, which I guess means Democrats are supposed to love Britney, huh?
A classic Chamber Of Commerce Doesn't Get It moment. If you HAVE to do this, and shoot for the alleged young demographic, bring in Christina Aguilera and Pink - they can at least SING.
You know what gets Them Young Folks excited about the caucuses? A good race with interesting candidates!
Besides, who needs more entertainment when Dennis Kucinich is running again? We're the Super Bowl of politics - and we don't need a pregame show.
This ranks as the dumbest idea since "Tax Free Under 30" last year.

I didn't have a chance to check in with Casey Kasem. Still, only one chart-topper and definitely too old to pull off the teen thing.
