After a brief respite, the presidential campaign returns to the Quad Cities this weekend. Two republicans are scheduled to visit - Mike Huckabee and Lindsey Graham.

Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, will greet local supporters in Davenport Saturday morning beginning at 8, at the Thunder Bay Grille in Davenport. It's one of several stops on what he calls the "Hope to Higher Ground" Iowa tour.

South Carolina US Senator Lindsey Graham officially began his campaign for the republican nomination just this week. And he will address the Iowa VFW Convention in Bettendorf, at 9 am Saturday at the Isle Casino Hotel. 

Saturday afternoon, both candidates plan to attend an event in Boone, Iowa hosted by Iowa US Senator Joni Ernst. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
