T
he Sheraton West Des Moines
hosted more than its share of
politicos in January, and it
wasn't just because of the Iowa
caucuses. Credit also belongs to
Steve Bruere and the Peoples Company
for its ninth annual Land Investment Expo.
No one who attended will soon forget the
wit and insight of James Carville and Mary
Matalin, who debated the merits of hopefuls
and has-beens. Other speakers included
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack,
Senator Joni Ernst, and Iowa Governor
Terry Branstad. — The Editors
