			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tomorrow I leave for Iowa to spend my New Year&#8217;s Eve with family. I&#8217;m especially excited to be going at this time due to the upcoming Iowa caucuses on Thursday, Jan. 3rd. In fact, my parent&#8217;s town has been the subject of <a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iNxTApa2sQRu0Xx99P3jt2bEXw7gD8TQNP980">several recent</a> <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2007/12/28/politics/fromtheroad/entry3653676.shtml">news stories</a>. I just missed both Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson, who were in Pella this morning. Perhaps there will be more high-profile visits coming up over the weekend—I wouldn&#8217;t mind seeing any of the candidates although it would be cool to see some of the higher-profile ones, including Hillary Clinton, John McCain, or Barack Obama.</p>
<p>Due to my time away, I may not be updating until the new year. But look for pictures/videos at that time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Happy New Year!</p>
