To speak at this event each candidate is required to have an active campaign headquarters in the state of Iowa. Neither Kucinich nor Gravel had this set up. I'm not sure that's the exact wording, but something to that effect. Both Kucinich and Gravel knew about this requirement. If you watch a re-run at either 6:30 or 9:30 tonight I think you might get a better explanation than I'm giving you right now. But this is the basic explanation, but I think there's more to it.
They were not excluded by Harkin or the candidates though as they knew about these requirements. Why they didn't have anything set up is something I DON'T know. Regardless, both knew the rules.
