Blunt, Bond stumping for Romney, Giuliani

Associated Press reports Missouri Governor Matt Blunt will speak to Iowa caucuses tonight in an effort to convince them to support former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney:

Meanwhile, Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt was heading today to Iowa to help Mitt Romney’s campaign. Blunt, one of Romney’s earlier supporters, planned to visit Romney’s campaign office in Urbandale, give interviews to several Iowa radio stations and speak at two caucuses in the Des Moines area.

"He may even do a little get-out-the-vote work, too," Blunt spokesman John Hancock said.

A busload of about 50 Missouri volunteers for Romney spent the weekend in Iowa to hand out pamphlets, make phone calls and attend rallies, said Missouri House Speaker Rod Jetton, another Romney supporter who helped organize the trip.

"They did some literature drops, made a lot of phone calls. Just your normal get-out-the-vote type of activities," said Jetton, who did not accompany the group.

Sen. Kit Bond is also in the Hawkeye State, touting the candidacy of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
