democratic chair dr. mcguire says parties can win future elections just by paying attention to the non- presidential work that goes on during caucus night.sure -- participants pick their choice for president -- but they also outline party platforms for the next four years -- and grow new talent. "there's a little check box you can do if you're interested in running for office. we get a lot of candidate becuase they'll check - well i'm thinking of running for office and there's a congressman leonard boswell, that's how he started his career, because he checked a box at a caucus and he ended up becoming one of our congressmen." one of the points many people probably haven't thought of is the burden of being first in the nation.it means iowans are dealing with mass mailings -- crowded coffee shops and nasty political ads -- including kaufmann said some state officials might want to take iowa's first in the nation status -- but many voters in other states might be just fine with where it is. after the break...the interesting ways

the chair of the iowa democratic party says it's crunch time. "when you get down to the end here, when people are really making up their minds, candidates are going to tell you their differences, they are going to draw out their differences, and i don't think that really is like the hateful rhetoric we're hearing on the other side. i think this is about issues." a testament to that... sanders refuses to discuss former president bill clinton and his past indescretions. sot sanders: yes, his behavior was a word? no, i have not. secretary clinton, governor o'malley on american people, not personal behavior. i think that's spirited think we're still different than how the republican and so divisive." and do you know what was not a sunday nights debate? donald trump. hillary clinton jack: coming up on local 5 news at five... five americans are in the process of returning home after being held prisoner.. jack: : and... iowa and iowa state both make an apperance in the top 25.. we preview the cyclones' big game against oklahoma next..

i owe my, you know, credentials as a member of the democratic party, the vice chair of the party, i'mit. i'm an activists. like hillary clinton and bernie sanders, i spent many, many of my years and they have spent -- that's why they are politicians. they have been fighters for equality and champion for children. and the underprivileged in this society. i'm proud of both of them. i'm proud that they have been members of the establishment. but they're not running because of who they are. they are running to help to level the playing field. that's what this election is all about. so if hillary doesn't feel comfortable telling wolf, you know, that she's x, y and z. you know what, so what? she's hillary clinton and she's been a fighter for the underdog all her life and so has bernie sanders. >> so peter, you talk to many democratic insiders that will whisper to you that, yes, bernie sanders may win new hampshire and may win iowa, it's getting very close but at the end of the day they think hillary clinton will win the nomination. does this leave a mark? is there lasting harm to her brand?

like the chair of the democratic party to clear -- approved the debate next week?> i would like them to agree that they can debate from new hampshire next week. that is what i hope will happen. mark: clinton has a new ads up here in iowa that are not quite negative, but certainly have some contrast. john, lots of back and forth between these two. who do you think is fearing it -- faring the best? john: sanders is faring best. he gets to be at the white house, which is the makeup of the favor. getting that invitation is very good. mark: why do you think the white house agreed, given the timing? john: i think they realize the president made a mistake going as far as he did with clinton. got a little over his skis on it. you got a little over his skis, and they felt they owed it to the sanders campaign. mark: clinton had one of her best ads of the cycle, and as she said yesterday, the team is much less off-balance. john: i agree with that. mark: i will say that the sanders white house is, to me, psychologically a big deal, and it puts the brakes on her big thing she h

the facility is for caucus attendees of the democratic party. as the chair, you do have ultimate authority over that site. so, broadcast equipment cannot hinder or obstruct participation. the chair does have the right to ask violators to leave. so, we recommend a three strike policy. if someone is doing something that is disrupting the caucus, or there is an issue, first, just ask them to please stop doing whatever they are doing. if it continues, we recommend saying if this does not stop, we will have to ask you to leave. if the problem is still we will actually ask them to leave the site. as the chair, you have the authority to do that. it is something we will work to back you up from the party, if there are issues. caucus registration. it should be monitored by the temporary chair or secretary to ensure that all of the forms are completed correctly. again, it is a good idea to find volunteers to help with this process. especially because a lot of the caucuses will be bigger here in polk county. thesehould understand how filled out, right? attendees must s
