The Democratic National Committee’s chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz promoted the candidacy of President Barack Obama and downplayed the significance of the Republican presidential candidates in a speech she gave at the Polk County Convention Complex in Des Moines Tuesday, Jan. 3. 

After speaking to news outlets, the congresswoman, along with Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, addressed reporters down in the stage area of the convention center and spoke about the Republican presidential candidates, especially Mitt Romney.

“Mitt Romney has miscategorized the president’s record,” Wasserman Schultz said . “[Romney] will say anything to get elected.”

Miller pointed out that Romney spent more than $4 million in Iowa and has a tremendous financial and organizational advantage over the other candidates.

“Gov. Romney spent huge amounts of money here,” Miller said. “There is a lack of organization among the other candidates and Romney has assets in Iowa that nobody else has.”

Speaking in a more broad sense about the candidates, Wasserman Schultz stressed the fact that none of the candidates were down-to-earth with the struggles or concerns of voters.

“The field of Republican candidates is way out of touch with normal Americans,” Wasserman Schultz said. “And, Republicans in Iowa have very little enthusiasm for any of the candidates… The Republican candidates are simply trying to out right-wing each other.”

Wasserman Schultz said Obama is easily capable of beating Romney, who Wasserman Schultz feels has lackluster support from Republicans.

“It’s Caucus night and 41 percent of Iowa Republicans don’t know who they are going to vote for,” Wasserman Schultz said.
