On Friday afternoon, a communications staffer for Zach Lahn for Governor emailed to say "we have you down" to cover the Republican Party's state convention on Saturday.

About an hour later, Iowa GOP staffer Josie Albrecht called to tell me she saw I was on the list for credentials and wanted to let me know "That's not going to happen," so I wouldn't waste my time going there on Saturday. When I asked why, she said, "you know the reason."

What did they think I was going to do at their convention?
