This afternoon I drove from rural Archer to Le Mars to see former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson during his campaign stop in Le Mars at the very lovely 4 Brothers restaurant... The event started at about 12:30 and I would estimate that there were about 50 locals and it seemed about that many people who were there with the media. While I'm obviously exaggerating that by quite a bit, there were a lot of TV cameras there and a lot of other journalists there. While I can say that I've been to bigger campaign events in Le Mars in the past year, I don't know that I've been to one that had as much media exposure.
