*Summary*
Just wrapped up his Iowa events. Small event in Davenport (40-50 people
<https://twitter.com/EvanMcSan/status/604736000640753665>), Des Moines
event much better turnout
<https://twitter.com/JosephOHern/status/604785697405280256/photo/1>
with 150-200
were reported. They robo called for the DSM event. One strange thing was
that he was introduced by a lobbyist at the Des Moines event. Mostly same
language from this morning's in Baltimore but made lots of references to
answering questions, used Iowa stats, and leaned into the executive
experience.

Didn't break a ton of new policy ground that I could tell besides fully
embracing a high RFS
<https://twitter.com/IAStartingLine/status/604791559595257856> which was
likely in response to a q on the EPA news this week - also leaned into the
Wall Street lines and mentioned expanding social security. As best I can
tell - hasn't mentioned HRC by name besides the Goldman Sachs line.

Bernie has by far received the largest crowds in Iowa of any candidate. In
a town of 250 people today in North Central Iowa, 200+ showed up (some from
MN). 300 in Iowa City, and a few hundred in Ames today, 500 in Davenport
etc.

Tweets below cover most of the highlights. thx to Pat/Kate for helping
monitor today.

O'Malley took a ton of audience qs at Davenport event. Fired off a lot of
granular IA knowledge, such as number of pork processors in state

They're bringing in more chairs in Davenport after the first batch set up
