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.

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.”
