I am heading to Iowa for the Caucuses. I am working on being embedded with the press covering Governor Mitt Romney. Being embedded though costs money. The campaign foots the bill for your travel, then charges you for the reimbursement. On the day of the caucus the price will be minimal, perhaps a hundred or two. The day prior will cost more money, since it will be day spent flying from place to place with the Governor. Add these costs, and the hotel rooms and the travel to Iowa itself, this could easily be a $1500 expenditure on my own.

On caucus day a friend of mine will be following around who is a professional photographer, so we should get some good shots.

The good news is if it works out, I will be able to bring lots of coverage and live video since I will have constant internet access. Kavon has set up a really great site here but unfortunately neither Kavon nor myself are made of money. If you enjoy all the content here at Race42008, and would like to get some real in depth coverage and behind the scenes footage, then consider contributing. Anything unused will be saved and used for future event coverage, the site, or for the Convention.
