"Big news, everybody -- Obama gained 7 more delegates today in Iowa!
Campaign Manager David Plouffe just sent this note to our hard-working Iowa staffers. We thought we'd share it with you...
Dear Team Iowa,
Another contest in Iowa just showed the hard work and dedication you put into the state. For those of you that worked the caucuses, you gave momentum to put us in the great position we are in. For those of you that came back for the county conventions, you worked your magic again, along with the precinct captains and supporters to squeeze 7 more delegates out of Iowa for Barack (there may still be one up for grabs).
Thanks for all of your hard work. I know you are all tired, but dig deep, remember the way you felt after the Iowa Caucuses, and the way staff there feels again tonight.
-David"
