Enthusiastic Democratic Turnout in Iowa Reflects Strength of Grassroots Organization

• The Iowa caucus was an opportunity to test our organization and expand our volunteer base as we move toward November, and Tuesday’s results showed an incredible amount of enthusiasm for the President’s reelection, and to preserve the change that we’ve delivered together.
  
  • 25,000 Iowans turned out to talk about the President's record and vision to restore security to the middle class.
  • 7,500 Iowans pledged to volunteer and work for the campaign.
  • Compare that to the fraction of that number that turned out for President Bush in 2004 in a similar uncontested caucus.
