...take off my top, but Margie suggested I refrain. She also made a huge batch of homemade cookies and brownies - the time-tested strategy to lure the supporters of candidates who don't get 15 percent- but the school janitor didn't permit any food in the building. Chris Dodd supporters had, it seemed, severely miscalculated by not eating...
...tallying was especially quick, partly due to the fact that Kucinich and Gravel had no supporters present, and Dodd's two people looked at each other - and the obvious lack of brownies - and split before the voting started. This was not good for Tom Flexner, who, while not actually an Iowan and unable to vote, had flown in from New York and was permitted to organize this precinct.

Candidates promised to shut off their robo-dialers on Christmas to give households a few hours of heavenly peace. Beyond that, however, the few days left before the caucuses are too precious to go unexploited. Democrat Christopher Dodd is heralding his "12 Days of Results" tour, while Republican Mike Huckabee virtually wraps himself in swaddling clothes in an ad in which he reflects on "the birth of Christ," with a perfectly lighted set of shelves forming a glowing Cross over his shoulder...
