Introducing the "Caucus Beard" ...

The trail can be a tough place for reporters this time of year.  As Romney Press Secretary Kevin Madden jokingly wrote in his email this morning ...
The weather here today in Iowa is a lot like the new “Caucus Beard” being grown by Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post.  It starts off very rough and ugly, and you can only hope it gets better.  It can’t get worse.
(You can see the "caucus beard" here).

Here's hoping Amanda is taking better care of herself than Cillizza!
