Phone calls. Text messages. Door-to-door canvassers. Mailers. Is there anywhere Iowans can hide from this presidential campaign?
Ellen Thornwall’s eyes widened as she described what it was like to move from Colorado to Iowa in June, with the Democratic presidential primary already in full swing. She now gets half a dozen phone calls from phone-bankers a night and sees only political advertisements on TV.
Throw in a highly competitive race among four or five candidates, and there are now more campaigns with more money trying to reach more voters through more avenues than have ever been possible before — and all this in a modestly populated state. “I don’t care if they’re tired of it. Democracy is hard,” Nagle said. “Dammit, this is probably the best and purest form of representative government that we have in this country,” he added, referring to Iowa’s system, which culminates with hours-long neighborhood caucuses.
She’s seen enough canvassers that she can usually identify their campaign from a distance. The youngest are often with Sen. Bernie Sanders. Buttigieg’s supporters often wear his campaign’s distinctive yellow. Hopkins respects their hustle, but personally she’s a little over it.
