The KY3 Political Notebook will be on the road for the next three days, traveling to Iowa to cover the 2008 presidential race in the first-in-the-nation caucus state.
Photojournalist Doug Magditch and I will be leaving for Des Moines early Friday to join Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee on the campaign trail for a few days to get an up-close look at the race for the White House.
We'll be trailing Huckabee but we'll also be covering Republican candidates Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and other candidates on the trail.
From reviewing the schedule, it doesn't look like a lot of the Democratic candidates are in Des Moines this weekend, so this will mainly focus on the G.O.P. tier. The focus is on Huckabee, because he falls into our KY3 viewing area, which includes northern Arkansas. But I will try my darndest to get back and cover the Dems!
The TV stories will air at some point in May. Web stories and blogs about the trip will be posted gradually.
Either way, I hope to bring back lots of scoops and insight about the campaign trail and the G.O.P. field as well as possibly producing some news. I'm taking my computer on the road with no guarantee of an internet connection. If possible, I'll try to post - but our schedule is pretty packed the next 3 days.
If not, I'll talk to you again next week.
To Iowa . . . Or Bust!
