Surprised he bothered. Not too many votes for him here, although I do see some 
Cruz yard signs not far from my house. Now that's something I would never put 
up -- for anyone. Why tell my neighbors my political views? Now I know my near 
neighbors are dangerous extremists!

Apparently Charles Grassley, our oh-so-conservative senator, didn't much care 
to visit Fairfield because of all those liberals we harbor here. 

Bernie Sanders is here today for his coronation.

 Cruz snuck in to town and met with a small select group.  His people commented 
that they felt Fairfield was enemy ground so they just had a small unannounced 
meet.
 

 O'Malley was here on the weekend, front page article about that.
 

 Bernie is coming to the Fairfield Civics Center this week,

 Hillary lights up the room, while the room lights up Bernie. Hillary has quite

In previous election cycles, there was huge Ru support for Ron Paul, but it 
doesn't appear to me that support for Ron has shifted over to Rand. FF strikes
