DES MOINES, Iowa—Around 200 reporters have been credentialed for Saturday's Iowa Freedom Summit. At least a dozen of them ate downtown Friday at Centro, a few blocks from the Marriott that's become a local answer to The Tabard for traveling journalists and politicians. Around 11 p.m. local time, as a few reporters returned from dinner, they ran smack into Newt and Callista Gingrich, Sarah Palin, Representative. Steve King, and Citizens United President David Bossie.
