Excerpt:

Over the weekend I posted over at Bleeding Heartland noting an Edwards campaign press release that talked about a big increase in their online fundraising. There weren’t too many specifics in the release, and some folks were curious as to amounts. When I emailed the campaign, they were pretty mum on details and […]

From the random asides department: Is it telling that Sen. Clinton’s thank you email to Iowa supporters went out on today (as in this afternoon) rather than the night of or the day after the completion of the Caucuses? I got my email tonight at 5:54 PM.

With the news that Gov. Bill Richarson is laying off a lot of his campaign workers, as well as the fact that both Sens. Biden and Dodd have left the race, there is likely an abundance of campaign staffers with loads of experience sitting around Iowa wondering what he or she will do next.
