Then, there's Iowa One Vote '08, which featured an appearance by Branstad, a Republican, and former Lt. Gov. Sally Pedersen, a Democrat, at its kickoff ceremony last week in Des Moines. The purpose of the One Vote group is to interact with the 2008 presidential candidate to promote the fight against global poverty and disease. More than 20,000 Iowans have already joined the group, according to organizers.
