America's Mayor, "Hizzoner", made his first trip to Western Iowa today
and I was able to make it to his mid-afternoon stop in Le Mars, the
Ice Cream Capitol of the World. When candidates come to Le Mars, they
either stop at the splendiliquently delightful visitor's center or
they stop at the Family Table. Rudy had well over 200 packed into the
Family Table restaurant and tons of national media yipping at his
heels the entire time too. I've seen Rudy a couple of times now. I saw
him back in early April when he held his first event in Des Moines and
then I saw him again about 10 days later when he was speaking at the
Lincoln Day dinner. I must say that I was more impressed with Rudy
then. Rudy is the type of candidate who does really well with lecterns
and prepared remarks whereas someone like Mitt Romney needs to avoid
the lectern. While Rudy is still impressive in a stump setting, he's
not as smooth as otherwise.
