for not taking Iowa seriously enough. And Kamala Harris so lacked a presence that Democrats here assumed she was skipping the first-in-the-nation caucus state altogether.As the Iowa State Fair and the Iowa Wing Ding — a marquee Democratic political dinner — get underway this week, both Biden and Harris have upended the landscape by significantly bulking up their field organizations, adding more frequent visits and in Harris’ case, even airing TV ads.
“Even with a historically large field, I highly doubt a candidate would be able to sustain the needed fundraising and voter support without a top four showing in Iowa,” said Jim Messina, Barack Obama’s campaign manager in 2012. “Democrats are like everyone else; they want to vote for something with a chance to win. If you can’t prove that early, history teaches us that it's very unlikely a candidate could survive for very long after Iowa.
The campaign’s growing muscle was in evidence Thursday at the state fair, where Biden’s team was deployed en masse. When a supporter called out “Way to go Joe!” as Biden passed by her, she was pounced on within moments with a request to sign a caucus card to commit her support. She now has nearly 50 full-time paid staffers on the ground and is considering another staff hiring push.
