Dayton criss-crossed Iowa these days, spending time mostly in the farmland of the state, pushing his pro-small farmer agenda, promising to enact legislation to protect small farmers from major agricultural companies seeking to buy up land. he also toured the major cities, holding a major rally in Des Moines, where he repeatedly slammed Republicans for being aainst everything Obama does, from enacting a Gingrich-approved healthcare program, to a foreign policy that most Republicans would be pushing for.
Septermber 10-19
These 9 days were spent in New Hampshire, as Dayton attempted to rally support from urban liberals, focusing on his populist economic message. He called out banks for their roles in the financial crisis, and pointed to the results of his progressive policies in Minnesota as proof that they work. He also called for a greater investment in education and for a national single-payer program.
