Iowa prepares to say good-bye to college-aged campaign workers

In case you didn’t see it, Journal-World reporter Alex Parker had a great story about Kansas University alumni who have put up tents in Iowa in order to work for their favorite candidates this election season.In the past couple days, I also received word that four more KU students were headed up to Iowa to join the alumni in getting the vote out tonight in Iowa.But once this night of caucusing is over, all the students and alumni will leave – either for another state or back to school. And David Yepsen, the dean of Iowa political columnists, says thanks for coming and restoring his faith in politics and young people.Having met a number of the people Parker profiled and others that are in Iowa, I’d bet KU alumni and students helped him restore the faith.
