DENVER, Colo. - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited the Iowa delegation at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday and huddled with Reps. Bruce Braley and Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, to talk about her upcoming trip to Iowa.

A few days ago, it was announced Pelosi would come to the state Sept. 8 to tour parts of the state struck by disaster. Braley said, Secret Service willing, the idea is that she'll go to Des Moines, Waterloo and Cedar Rapids. He said he also hoped that she could get to Parkersburg, the site of a devastating tornado.

The Iowa congressional delegation has been pushing for additional disaster aid, and the tour is aimed at bringing home the point.

Otherwise, the speaker talked about the importance of health care for kids and said John McCain stood by President Bush too often on such issues.

Pelosi mingled with Iowans and posed for a few pictures, but she left without talking to reporters.
