Edith and Carolyn Save The Iowa Caucuses

If Iowa retains it's first-in-the-nation status, thank Edith and Carolyn.

I had the pleasure of getting some post-caucus thoughts from Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad for a show that will air later this month on MC22. You won't be surprised that a man who has been involved in Iowa politics since the 1960s does, in fact, know Clinton County Republican leaders Edith and Carolyn--here's the story about how they became a late-night sensation.

Although the Governor plans to continue to fight to keep the state first-in-the-nation, I believe Edith and Carolyn probably have guaranteed that Iowa will continue to go first. CNN will insist.
