Presidential Candidates Spend July 4th in Iowa

By Becky Ogann

CLEAR LAKE (AP) - It's the Fourth of July and that means, picnics, parades and presidential candidates.

A handful of presidential hopefuls are traveling across the state Wednesday to meet with thousands of people at parades, coffee houses and in their homes.

Republican hopeful Mitt Romney will join Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton in a parade in Clear Lake.

He also has stops planned in Ames and Waukee.

Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, will also stop in Waterloo and Cedar Rapids on Wednesday.

Democrat Barack Obama is having coffee with residents in Oskaloosa before attending a house party in Pella. He will end his day at a park in Des Moines.

Democrat Chris Dodd will be in Norwalk, Pleasantville, Wellman, Coralville and Cedar Rapids, and Democrat Joe Biden will be in Urbandale for a parade before traveling to Marshalltown, Des Moines and Sioux City.

Republican Sam Brownback is appearing in parades in Urbandale, Ames and Pella.
