"the states that matter the most in

states of iowa and new hampshire, we have a great organization here in iowa and every campaign you hope you never drop a single ball. we've made it on the ballot in every other state in the union so far with the deadline. i believe we're going to change the dynamic of this race very early here in iowa on caucus night and turn this into a three-person race," said former maryland governor and presidential candidate, martin o'malley. o'malley says once that change happens, a whole different dynamic will emerge in the subsequent early states. tonight at 10 i will have more on what o'malley had to say on a big issue-- immigration, and what those attending thought of his answer. republican ted cruz will be campaigning in iowa next week. he's planning to visit 36 counties in six days. one of his stops will take him to dordt college, in sioux center on tuesday, january 5th. he'll speak at the de yager activity center on campus from 6 until 8:30 p.m. democrat hillary clinton plans to be in sioux city on tuesday for a 2:15 event at the orpheum theatre.
