Relating the Syrian Refugee Crisis To Iowa

Posted: November 30, 2015 | By: Iowa Caucus Project Staff Tagged: Blog
The Paris attacks provided a unfortunate and tragic reminder that the goal of a terrorism-free world is still far off, if not unachievable. As a result, terrorism and national security have jumped to the top of the list of issues facing the presidential candidates as the caucuses rapidly approach. Part of that national-security discussion has […]

Marco Rubio Stumps in Snowy Iowa

Posted: November 30, 2015 | By: Iowa Caucus Project Staff Tagged: Blog
Nov. 21 on a snowy, cold night in West Des Moines, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio held a campaign rally at Noah’s Event Venue. Thirty minutes before the event started, the venue’s primary and secondary parking lots were almost entirely full.

Another One Bites the Dust: Drop-out Candidates

Posted: November 30, 2015 | By: Iowa Caucus Project Staff Tagged: Blog
Drop-out presidential candidates: the candidates who started from the bottom and stayed there. Since the start of September, five candidates have abandoned/indefinitely suspended their campaigns for president. Rick Perry started the domino effect, followed by Scott Walker, Democrats Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee and Republican Bobby Jindal. With money troubles as the main contributing factor, and […]

Making it Rain 501(c)(3) Style

Posted: November 29, 2015 | By: Iowa Caucus Project Staff Tagged: Blog
A large theme of the 2016 election already is big money in politics. Issue campaigns, such as Iowa Pays the Price, have popped up all over Iowa and have been working to confront candidates on both sides of the aisle on their plans to lessen the power of dark money and super PACs on the […]

What To Wear: Your ICP Fashion Expert’s Advice

Posted: November 29, 2015 | By: Iowa Caucus Project Staff Tagged: Blog
“So, what are you wearing?” This is a simple, yet common question I have been asked when attending political events. Though some people may think that what you wear to events does not matter, through my experience I have observed the exact opposite. First impressions are vital, especially from a political perspective. No college student […]

The Presidential Family Forum and Me

Posted: November 27, 2015 | By: Iowa Caucus Project Staff Tagged: Blog
While most of Iowa was under a winter storm warning, I and hundreds of politically committed Iowans braved the flying white flakes (caused by Satan’s wrath, according to The FAMiLY LEADER CEO Bob Vander Plaats) to attend the Presidential Family Forum last Friday night. Vander Plaats’ organization, which is spelled correctly and has a lowercase […]

The Iowa Endorsement

Posted: November 27, 2015 | By: Iowa Caucus Project Staff Tagged: Blog
During the introduction of all the Democrats running for federal office this cycle at the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, Tom Fiegen raised a Bernie Sanders sign, signaling his official endorsement of the presidential candidate. Fiegen, one of three Democrats running for Sen. Chuck Grassley’s seat, brought the Sanders bleachers to a frenzy, clearly loving their candidate getting […]

Who Does Politics Better: Rand or Diane?

The Yahoo! Digital Democracy conference, held at Drake, covered a wide range of issues with a similarly diverse group of speakers. How to win a digital campaign, cyber security, and the role of social media in activism were just a few of the topics discussed.

10 Thoughts I Had During the Politico Caucus Event

Posted: November 22, 2015 | By: Iowa Caucus Project Staff Tagged: Blog
Politico hosted the event: Politico Caucus Economy and the Election (presented by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation) in Des Moines on Nov. 18. I ditched class a little early (don’t worry it was a politics class anyway) to cover the event. While at the event I noticed a few aspects about the event, the crowd, […]

The Contradiction of the Republican Party At The Presidential Family Forum

Posted: November 22, 2015 | By: Iowa Caucus Project Staff Tagged: Blog
At the Presidential Family Forum on Nov. 20, Iowa’s weather took a turn today with its first snowstorm of the season. Bob Vander Plaats kicked off the forum by blaming Satan (?) for the weather. We’ve always debated the separation of church and state, but I guess we never considered the separation of church and […]
