UPDATE: Ann Romney to Hold Clive Rally for Women on Thursday

Ann Romney plans to hold a Women for Mitt rally on Thursday at By Design in Clive, according to a news release from the campaign.

Doors open at 3 p.m. and the event begins at 4:30 p.m. at the custom furniture store and design studio, located at 1490 N.W. 86th St. in Clive.

Tickets are available to see the wife of GOP presidential nominee and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

To request a ticket go to www.mittromney.com/states/iowa.

The visit marks the continuation of a steady stream of visits to Iowa by campaigns for both Romney and President Barack Obama. Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan, Romney's running-mate, and Vice President Joe Biden were both in Iowa on Monday.

Obama has been to Iowa twice already this month.

Iowa is one of a handful of battleground states upon which the outcome of the 2012 election will hinge. National polling currently has Obama ahead of Romney, although Iowa remains a toss-up.
