as announced in The DesMoines Register dot-com online edition (http://caucuses.desmoinesregister.com/ )
The pre-straw poll burst of political activity in Iowa will include “Politics & Pints,” a Washington Post-sponsored political trivia event featuring columnist Chris Cillizza, author of The Fix blog.
The event will be Wednesday, Aug. 10, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Quinton’s, 506 E. Grand Ave., in the East Village of Des Moines.
It’s part of a blitz of events leading up to the Republican Party of Iowa’s straw poll in Ames on Saturday, Aug. 13. The state party, with Fox News, is also sponsoring a debate on Thursday, Aug. 11. A number of candidates are also planning Iowa State Fair appearances that week.
This is the first time Politics & Pints has traveled outside Washington, D.C. More than 20 teams will participate for prizes in the trivia contest. The event is free, but potential participants are encouraged to come early to register because of limited space. There will also be an opportunity to tour the new C-SPAN political bus, which will be parked outside from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
