spending most of your time in iowa because it costs a lot of money to whip around a country into a lot of these other states. is that what you are going to do make iowa centric, hope you pull off the win there and take it out fast to the other states? well, we have been in all the other states, too. we have been in arizona and south carolina, new hampshire, florida. we have been in all of them. we spent a significant amount of time in south carolina as well. but we are focusing on iowa as number one. and then after that it s new hampshire and south carolina. so, we are looking at how this is going to play out. and iowa is where we are putting our time. bill: so that s it. in this day and age, that s a strategy that, you know, absolutely could bear some fruition. now, do you think you are being treated differently because you are the only woman in the race? you got eight sweaty guys. all sweating and then you are there. are you being treated differently because you are the only woma
