Obama's Campus Campaigning Draws Rebuke
In Iowa, college kids who hail from other states — including neighboring Illinois — are permitted to vote in the caucuses. Illinois senator and Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama is making their votes a campaign priority.
This week, Obama took his campaign to seven Iowa campuses. The effort has drawn rebukes from rival Hillary Clinton and the Des Moines Register — and caused some to question whether the students should be allowed to participate in the caucuses.
