I finally arrived in Des Moines and headed over to the Romney Headquarters to meet up with some blogging friends from the Elect Romney Blog (Great coverage on their activities in Iowa as well.) Before heading out for dinner I took a tour of the headquarters. Things had sowed down at this, earlier there had been 200 volunteers there from all over the nation making calls and hundreds more souring the neighborhoods and precincts, but there were still plenty there hanging around, chatting and eating pizza.



I also heard from one person I had dinner with that while phone banking, he ran in to a few people who had been undecided until they saw Huckabee's stunt the other day and decided to jump on with Romney. In fairness this was a Romney backer and I didn't ask him if he met anyone who decided to go with Huck because of Romney's ads on Huckabee. So it's anecdotal, but none the less, people in Iowa are paying attention and a single event can sway their vote. Every little detail counts at this point.
