A new Suffolk University poll of the Iowa GOP Senate primary shows state senator Joni Ernst narrowly leading wealthy business executive Mark Jacobs: In the smaller subset of June Republican Primary voters, State Sen.

"Joni is a Sarah-endorsed candidate, by the way."

Which is why she is now in the lead. Funny how these articles don't go there, isn't it? Yeah, real funny...

“...grew up on an Iowa hog farm.”

Can’t get more Iowan than that.

Nothing like dealing with a herd of swine to teach anybody about the art of successfully managing stress and conflict. Danged hog gets you down on the ground, they will eat you.

Outside of leading a combat team in armed conflict, not much else will teach a person how to approach and carry out some pretty difficult duties.

Nothing like dealing with a herd of swine to prepare you for working with your fellow Congresscritters.

Joni Ernst in the lead is a good thing. The LAST thing we need is another GOPe RINO in the Senate such as Jacobs.

But she didn’t go to Harvard or live in Manhattan and is not a lawyer. No way she is qualified to be in Washington.

I hope Joni Ernst will make Reid and Obama squeal like pigs.

Me too. She would replace Tom Harkin, one of the most nauseating leftists in the Senate. Talk about a turnaround!
