DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Republican and Democratic presidential candidates rolled out upbeat television ads and packed their schedules with multiple campaign events on the first day of 2008 -- and one of the last before Iowa's caucuses. With fresh polls showing both races in a dead heat, candidates made last-minute appeals Tuesday, mindful that little else was left to do at this late hour but encourage supporters to caucus for them Thursday.
''I want you to go with a commitment, in essence a fervent spirit, that says I will not only go no matter what the weather, I will take people with me to vote for Mike Huckabee,'' the Republican implored a crowd of about 200 in Sergeant Bluff on the conservative western side of the state.
