April 14, 2007--The Republican Party of Iowa's Abraham Lincoln Unity
Dinner at the Polk County Convention Complex in Des Moines marked the first
gathering of almost all of the Republican candidates and drew several thousand
activists from around the state. In addition to the candidates' speeches,
the campaigns set up information tables and held dessert receptions after
the dinner. Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA) was unable to attend
due to transportation problems and Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) chose not
to attend.
