We just spoke to Doug Gross, political adviser for Romney's campaign and Jerry Crawford, political adviser for the Clinton campaign at the Iowa State Education Association. They willingly spoke with our group about important aspects regarding their campaigns and this Thursday's caucus.
Both stressed the importance of organization, but the caucus results are ambiguous. After the release of Des Moines Register's final polls, placing Huckabee as the frontrunner, Gross was clear to point out that polls can not determine who will win the caucus, but it is "all about turn out."
Crawford is confident about Clinton winning Thursday. He believes that the attending caucus-goers will be in Clinton's favor. Some polls suspect that Iowa will see huge attendance, providing favorable conditions for Obama. However, Clinton's wide support among women over the age of 60 remains strong and Crawford points out that this demographic has always been the largest group of caucus-goers.
Crawford summed up our discussion by applauding every candidate's efforts and said that "every candidate will leave Iowa a better candidate."
