According to the Des Moines Register:
At least a half-dozen possible presidential campaign staffs have begun taking shape in Iowa, more than a year and a half before Iowans launch the 2008 nominating season and despite no formal announcements by any of the many White House prospects.
Although would-be candidates began tagging Iowa soil within months of the 2004 election, their political action committees have hired advisers and operatives in the lead-off caucus state, the clearest sign of how competitive the 2008 nominating campaigns are expected to be.
It’s on. Iowa, baby! If you hate your job, your family or your life, go to Iowa…early. Get on a campaign and get to work. You’ll never experience anything like a heated Iowa Caucus race.
DoubleSpeak will be all over Iowa in the coming months and we will be talking with Democratic Presidential hopefuls, local activists, media and party leaders.
