Davenport voter: 'Beto has the coolness that Obama did'

CLINTON — Beto O’Rourke capped the busiest weekend of the caucus season with a Monday morning town hall in Clinton.

Over the weekend, 19 candidates for president — nearly the full field — attended campaign events in Cedar Rapids.

But in Clinton on Monday, before a packed room of voters at the Gateway Area Community Center, O’Rourke — or just Beto as his supporters call him — had the stage to himself.

After introducing his wife, Amy, who spoke about their relationship and family, the 46-year-old former congressman from El Paso, Texas, made a brief opening speech and fielded a diverse array of questions from the more than 100 in attendance.

Beto is very animated with lots of arm waving.
I've seen him at times jump up a table to speak and I never saw Obama act like Beto.

Joe Biden
