IowaPolitics.com: Political scientist calls Ames Straw Poll and Iowa State Fair "a first inning of the World Series"

James E. Campbell, professor and chair of political science, is quoted in an article on IowaPolitics.com about this month's Ames Straw Poll and the Iowa State Fair. Next week's political events are like "a first inning of the World Series," he said. "Early events may be particularly important in this campaign cycle, because there doesn't seem to be a clear front-runner in a field of qualified candidates."
