Pawlenty And Biden Are The Big Fall Speakers

The Iowa political parties are among the biggest benefactors of the state's "first-in-the-nation" caucus status. The stars come out for the big fall fund-raisers.

The Democrats will host VP Joe Biden for their annual Jefferson-Jackson event on November 27. Worldwide readers will recall that this is the dinner in which Barack Obama stole Hillary Clinton's mojo and never gave it back.

In the meantime, presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty will headline the Iowa GOP's fall event on November 7. I've seen him speak and he is eminently likable and delivers a populist message.
