She's met them all: Hillary, Obama, Edwards, Richardson, and others like them. While a guest on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, she contrasted a sitting president with Iowans, whom, she said, did not like being lied to. When she's not juggling candidates' Meet 'n Greets or researching cold cases, she's teaching her three dogs how to do a police line-up, reminding her son certain behavior is inappropriate in mixed company, or rushing out the door to assist with a family crisis or another celebration that comes prepackaged with a large, extended family.
 
Kids, Dogs & Democrats Running Wild: Campaigning for Sanity in Iowa is a seriocomic roller-coaster ride through the First-in-the-Nation Caucus State, where riders get off only long enough to attend family reunions, weddings or funerals, feed the dogs, kiss a child's bruised knee or ego, and perhaps even celebrate another hard won day in the life of living on the edge in America's Heartland.

Jody on "Pull" ...

 
When I visualize my late [first] father, his image never changes. A yellow shooting shirt with a padded right shoulder. Khaki pants with sewn cuffs. Old worn cowboy boots but a crisp tan Stetson tilted low on his brow. He's leaning into the 12-gauge, his finger on the trigger. I both admired and feared him, but never considered him vulnerable. He first proved me wrong the summer of '69. "Pull" is based on the incident that taught me love wears many hats.
