Here's what's up with the candidates who aren't locked in a three-way race for first place in Iowa.

You first heard about the Firefighters for Chris Dodd bus here last week. Now, there's video to go along with the image.

Sen. Joe Biden continued his talk about Iran today following news of the NIE on the country's nuclear weapons program.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich is hitting his rivals on Iran.

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson yesterday campaigned in Sigourney, Iowa — completing his goal of meeting voters in all 99 Iowa counties.

As for former Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska, his daughter Lynne writes supporters an e-mail today to let them know the campaign is on track to get her dad's name on the ballot nationwide. She also blasts the media for censoring her dad and not allowing him in all the debates.

Here's excerpts from her note:

"Censorship has been one of the key issues of the presidential primary season so far. Despite being cut out of two critical DNC-sanctioned debates by the media and the Democratic leadership, have you seen how Mike has still shaped the dialogue on the most important issues of today? The most important question of the Las Vegas debate was a mom asking, "Will my son be redeployed to Iran?" This was a direct response to Mike calling out Hillary on Sept. 26 for her vote giving Bush the power to go to war against Iran. Mike got it started, and then Obama and Edwards got a clue. Mike was on it from the start!
