Turning Up the Heat

A fired up Obama prevents Hillary coronation. Also: Romney's Huckabee worries. Plus: Fall out from Robertson endorsement of Reed's friend Rudy.
p> DINNER THEATRE br> The campaign staff for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton were surprised by the organization and turnout of the Sen. Barack Obama campaign at this weekend's Jefferson Jackson dinner in Iowa. "The Clinton people were treating it like a coronation. We saw it as an opportunity to show them what we can do," says an Obama adviser. /p>

Obama's campaign coordinated buses from four different parts of the state to get more than 3,000 of their supporters to the dinner in Des Moines. The Democrat party estimated total attendance at the event at about 9,000. The Obama crowd was enthusiastic and privately ridiculed the new slogan of the Clinton campaign, "Turn Up the Heat," which Clinton had printed on banners and T-shirts for supporters.

"The Obama campaign has been 'Fired Up' here for months," said one Obama supporter. "You'd think a campaign like that would know what's what."

p> MITT AND MIKE br> Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney 's campaign in Iowa is getting nervous about former Arkansas Gov.
