Harkin Steak Fry Pictures and Hoopla

Harkin Steak Fry Pictures and Hoopla

As Chris Dodd (speaker 4) continues, it seems we'll get the condensed version of each stump speech. (He does get points for actually saying "we're here in part to suck up to Harkin."


All the candidates are sitting on stage in the sun while the others speak, which is an interesting setup.



It looked like most everyone got fed before the show started.  The warm-up acts -- the House delegation, Patty Judge -- got largely ignored.



Here Dave Loebsack appears in Patton pose, only with pumpkins.


It wouldn't be a Demopalooza -- or a Demstock if you're a little older -- without some silly hoopla.



The snowman against global warming must be feeling some warming under the suit.  Wasn't he at the YouTube debate?


The PigMobile is not in sight but Iowans For Sensible Priorities has the upside down bus.



A one person donkey suit is better than two -- because no one has to be the back end.



Team Biden's theme for the day is Experience, as witnessed in the sign war on the way in.  Here at their table they translate experience into corn (they left Dodd off...)


In an interesting touch, Team Richardson is wearing shirts in a variety of pastel colors wide enough to stock a whole season of "Miami Vice."  Catchy, but makes them harder to spot in the crowd than, say, the navy blue Obama army.  Blus, the guy at the Common Cause booth notes, it must have cost a mint to print -- all th emore reason for campaign finance reform.  Give him points for staying on message.
