Hillary Clinton in Iowa: Vol. 3 The Launch

As planned, as soon as the crowds cleared from FDR Four Freedoms Park in New York yesterday, Hillary Clinton left for Iowa where she attended a house party in the evening hosted by Chuck and Linda Smoley in Sioux City.   There were hundreds of similar house parties all over the country and a video-chat was available from the campaign.
Hillary to 650+ house parties nationwide: "It's about you, about us, about all the people who deserve a champion."

Today, at the fair grounds in Des Moines,  Hillary held her first Iowa rally.  On her two previous visits she met with small,  specific special interest groups.  This was her first large-scale event in the state for this cycle.
