8 things to watch for at Iowa Dems Hall of Fame dinner
1. Friday nights Hall of Fame Celebration in Iowa will be the first time the cast of five current Democratic presidential hopefuls has shared a stage.
The audience will be most interested in Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, predicted Bret Niles, chairman of the Linn County Democrats.
The crowd reaction will be a big thing: How are people going to react to Bernie with Hillary there as well? Niles said.
Niles speculated that ticket holders at the state party fundraiser would be a more monied, moderate crowd that might not be as receptive to Sanders as crowds at his solo events. A strong performance by Sanders, a Vermont U.S. senator who is calling for a progressive peoples revolution, would go a long way to impress upon politics watchers that hes not a flash in the pan but a real contender, said Democratic operative Grant Woodard.

5. Will Martin OMalley break through?
OMalley, a former Baltimore mayor and Maryland governor, will also have a pre-rally, at 5:15 p.m. at White Star Ale House in Cedar Rapids.
Webb and Chafee are fringe characters who I dont think will gain much traction I just dont think theres a lane for them, said Douglas Burns, an opinion columnist at the Carroll Daily Times Herald who frequently attends Iowa campaign events.
But OMalley checks all the boxes: Hes viewed as less radical than Sanders, he appeals to populists and progressives, and he has some of Clintons establishment appeal, Burns said.
His organizers filled all of their 200 seats, an effort that could signal a foothold, Iowa insiders said.

A room full of Democrats is good for the spirit.
