NPR : Democrats Address Minority Issues, Each Other - Iowa

An ice storm shut down roads and airports in Iowa Saturday, but that wasn’t enough to stop the presidential campaign now roaring through the state. Democratic candidates took part in an afternoon forum and in the traditional Iowa Brown and Black Forum, which focused attention on issues affecting African Americans and Hispanics in the state.

Saturday night’s forum was open to all the candidates — but none of the Republicans showed up. So the evening was a chance for the Democrats to reach out to some important audiences — African-American and Hispanic voters. The event also had a twist — each candidate had a chance to pose a question to someone else on stage.”*
