HD201 - Inside the Iowa Caucuses (Hawke and Dove go Undercover) [10:00m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

The first Hawke and Dove Political Punditry Podcast episode of 2008 (Season 2, Episode 01) sees Bricke Hawke and Attacus Dove undercover inside the mysterious and puzzling Iowa Caucuses, observing and commenting on a process barely understood and more frequently misunderstood by the rest of the country that in some cases involves secret deals, back-room handshakes, and even the occasional coin toss.

Since only Iowans are allowed to participate in the process, Hawke and Dove each adopted disguises and were in position for their caucuses 24 hours in advance of the actual Caucus start. Communicating by cell phones, we were able to capture their conversation live, as the actual action was happening within the respective Democratic and Republican rooms on opposite sides of the state.

How did fundamentalist evangelical Mike Huckabee and progressive populist Barack Obama pull out their wins? Just what kind of maneuvering went on behind the Iowa curtains? We are proud to present this unprecedented and never-before-seen look into the heart of what actually happens at the Iowa Caucuses. An exclusive, world-wide first from the top-notch journalistic team of Hawke and Dove.
