A Timeline in a Typical Truman Media Network Students Iowa Caucus Day Part 2

Yesterday was a long day for the media team I had the pleasure of tagging along with. Dubbed "Team C" we were assigned to go to events in the eastern part of Iowa, places like Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, and others. We saw four rather distinct events in our 302 mile journey around Iowa.

We entered The Hotel at Kirkwood Center to listen to Ron Paul address an eager and young crowd. Orderly and on time, Ron Paul stepped onto the platform with his son and the hotel’s manager a few minutes after 2:30 (event start time). Rand Paul received an introduction from the hotel’s manager, and a standing ovation from the audience. Rand Paul moved through his words quickly, being sure to address that his father has the support of not just young enthusiastic people, but also of active duty military personal and veterans, proving that his anti-war stance is popular. Ron Paul then stepped up and took the microphone from his senator son and addressed the audience. Being interrupted frequently by an energetic crowd, Representative Paul really lit a fire in the hearts of these potential voters making them eager to show up today and caucus for him by reminding them that he was there to make war something more like our days in the early years of the country, not the long drawn out wait we do now. He also was sure to mention that he would balance the budget by slashing more out than any other candidate dares to propose. The standing ovations were endless for the Texas representative, leading to a swarm of people around him when he left the stage.
