Hillary Clinton plans September 10 visit to Cincinnati
Clinton placed third in the Iowa caucuses in 2008, and that election cycle Harkin didn’t endorse a presidential candidate. During the 2004 campaign, he did not endorse former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean until nine days before the January caucuses, and he endorsed Bill Clinton in March 1992, the same month he dropped his own presidential bid.
The Iowa State Fair is open for business, and presidential candidates from both parties are making the pilgrimage.
Touting the college affordability plan she released this week, Clinton attacked Gov. Scott Walker for cutting higher education funding in Wisconsin and Republican contender Jeb Bush for hiking tuition while he was governor of Florida.
The Iowa State Fair is underway, and that means presidential hopefuls are about to step onto the soapbox. The fundraiser is hosted by 22 Northern Iowa County Parties in Clear Lake and Clinton. She noted that the Supreme Court case over the conservative group’s led to decision that allowed unfettered money in politics – a ruling, she said, that “was about me”.
“I am unbought, and I am unbossed”, says candidate Jim Webb.
The big destination is the state fair that started this week. Hundreds turn out to see the spectacle, and candidates are often heckled. She said, “It’s a family-friendly environment”. He was a Marine officer in Vietnam and later served as Secretary of the Navy. “For my wife, Ruth and I, that candidate is Hillary Clinton”, Harkin wrote. The power sources would include next-generation nuclear power, wind and solar energy, as well as yet-to-be-developed “technologies we’ve never heard of”, O’Malley said. But the government also must insist that everyone has a level playing field and equal access to the American dream.
Trump will arrive in the $7 million helicopter before holding a press event.
Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks says the billionaire businessman may stop by the soapbox, but his schedule is in flux. “Trust me. It’s what’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack”. He said he didn’t actually want any Q and A, but rather some “questions and avoidance”.
Another big hit for the crowd was when Black did a skit with a wedding bouquet and a lawnmower, a dig at King’s recent comment that the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that breaks the tradition of one-man/one-woman marriage means “you can marry a lawnmower”.
“I think it’s something that has prepared me, in the best way that anyone can be prepared, to be your commander in chief”, he said.
At the fair, the soapbox is metaphorical.
He proclaimed his endorsement via a letter which was posted on the web site of the Des Moines Register. The comment dogged Romney for the rest of his campaign. There is neither soap nor a box.
