All 5 Dem candidates will be at event in Iowa tomorrow night
8 things to watch for at Iowa Dems’ Hall of Fame dinner
1. Friday night’s 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 people’s revolution, would go a long way to impress upon politics watchers that he’s not a flash in the pan but a real contender, said Democratic operative Grant Woodard.

That will be fun to watch. 
The 10 Republican presidential candidates appearing at Saturday's 2015 Family Leadership Summit won't be given a microphone so they can pontificate, organizers said.
