February first. Just this week, republicans jeb bush, mike huckabee, rick santorum, and donald trump have campaigned in eastern iowa. And democrats Hillary Clintonon and Martin Omalley have also been here. But almost every time a candidate visits, it can put an added strain on local Law Enforcement. Police departments often staff candidate events to make sure the public and the candidate are safe.

We have had a lot of big days in this campaign, iowa was big, new hampshire, super tuesday big, but none much bigger than today because today we could begin to understand how the future may play out. On the republican side, its either donald trump or most likely somebody else who will be picked at the convention in cleveland or ted cruz. One of those. If trump can have a really, really big day in wisconsin today as he has predicted he can get the delegates he need to own this thing.
