One of the GOP contenders dropped in for lunch today.
It may well be the beginning of a parade of them, who knows?
I'm certainly going to see if Ron Paul will come for lunch, too. :)
He shared a few thoughts on the Debt Super Committee, took a few questions, posed for some pics and signed some autographs. Nice little 45 minute visit.
I have to say that Mr. Gingrich did a credible job today. He is a serious political rainmaker. In fact, I think that of all the candidates, Newt has the potential to have the greatest impact on the country. I'm just not sure it's the right impact.
It was a closed event (the public was not invited), but the media was sure there in force. All sorts of them, from Iowa Public Radio, to local network affiliates, to the lady in the left foreground:
She works for the Swedish News Service or some such organization. And had the accent to match. Fascinated with American politics, apparently, is posted in the US to report on it, but had never been outside Washington, DC before. This ain't the big city, hon. This here is farm country.
I suppose she would be fascinated, given that her country has one of the last Kings on the planet as a leader. I would bet that King Whateversen of Sweden doesn't drop in for lunch with the commoners very much.
