It is nine days away from the caucus in Iowa, the first in the nation. Volunteers from all over the country have been canvassing the state on behalf of Hillary, encouraging voters to go to the caucus. Some of those people are from Texas that supported Wesley Clark in 2004. They will be travelling in a caravan to Des Moines to meet up with other Wes Clark Democrats to urge voters in Iowa to caucus for Hillary.
Here is an example of one of those dedicated volunteers in The Washington Post today.
