Iowa Town Becomes Crossroads for Candidates

With the Iowa caucuses just days away, the presidential candidates were working extra hard during the weekend to find undecided voters. One of the places they were looking was Pella, a largely Dutch community of about 10,000 people about 45 miles southeast of Des Moines.

Normally, visitors to Pella are struck by the town's famous windmills. This weekend, they were more likely to be struck by one of the giant campaign buses in town, which included those of Republican contenders Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson and Mike Huckabee.
