Candidates are courting voters in the Hawkeye state, as they are in New Hampshire -- but some with notable differences in terms of time, money, and the issues. We check in on the campaign in Iowa, and look at efforts to make the caucus system more inclusive.
This show originally aired Thursday, November 14.
PRODUCER'S NOTE: We've altered this audio to correct the name of the chairman of Iowa's Democratic Party, which is Troy Price, not Tom Price. We regret the error in our original broadcast.
