The Iowa State Fair is in full swing this week in Des Moines. Tens of thousands of people jammed onto the state fairgrounds in the heat and the rain.

Many fairgoers are looking for a fleeting second of face time with the men and women running for president. You could say the same of The Wall Street Journal's Jason Bellini. He's been in the press scrum all week, and talks about the scene with Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson.
