Old Media Coverage of Johnson County Democratic BBQ

Here is the story about the Johnson County Democratic BBQ from the Iowa City Press Citizen. They pretty much hit the high points of the night.

They wrote about Vilsack being all fired up...

"Please, please do everything you can do, donate every penny you can," he said in remarks that ended with his dropping the microphone as he left the stage. "You can change a nation. If that isn't enough to fire you up, then you can go home."

And about Culver's best line of the night...

Culver also took shots at his Republican opponent Jim Nussle's recent change of opinion on abortion rights and tax credits. Culver also said Nussle favored many of President Bush's plans, including privatizing Social Security.

"Jim Nussle loves George Bush's idea of privatizing Social Security," Culver said. "Jim Nussle's idea of pension security is like Dick Cheney's idea of hunter safety."

I will write later and fill in with some more details, especially about Loebsack and Dodd's speeches.

And yes, John Deeth was there, so check out his blog for coverage.
