Boise (EON) – Six Democratic candidates trying to become the president of the United States attracted a crowd of 12,000 in Iowa on Sunday.

The big event was Senator Tom Harkin’s 30th annual “steak fry.” Iowa is receiving a lot of attention as of late as New York Senator Hillary Clinton has plans to lay out her health care reform ideas on Monday in Des Moines.

She stated to the crowd on Sunday that “We will never have a strong economy or a moral society until we have quality, affordable health care for every American.”

Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards stated that “We need change in the worst kind of way, but we need more than the rhetoric of change,” referring to health care reform.

Others who attended included Illinois Senator Barack Obama. He stated that “Some of the reason you are out here is you’re just sick and tired of George Bush. I think we’ve got a consensus on that fact.”
