This may be one of the CNN reporters with whom my husband spoke. I am not sure. However, this story came out today--and these are the Iowa locations and exact sentiments that the female CNN reporter shared with my husband.

From the article (Link Below for further reading):
"Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s rally in New York Saturday could only bring out six people, which included a staffer, to an Iowa watch party in the town of Marshalltown, CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny described. Clinton is expected in Iowa on Monday.

Zeleny wondered if Clinton’s remarks could fire up her base further, while CNN anchor Fredricka Whitfield described the watch party as “pitiful” looking.

Clinton reiterated to supporters at her campaign re-launch rally on Roosevelt Island in New York City that she was targeting the Supreme Court’s Citizens United Decision, among other issues.
