First lady Michelle Obama will head to Iowa in October to campaign for Rep. Bruce Braley (D) in the hotly contested race for U.S. Senate there, a campaign aide confirmed Wednesday.
Details have yet to be finalized. The news was first reported by the Des Moines Register.
Braley is in a close race against state Sen. Joni Ernst (R), polls show. The campaign has emerged as a key battleground in the fight for the Senate majority. Sen. Tom Harkin (D) is retiring, creating a vacancy.
Campaigning with the first lady may be the best way for Democratic candidates to bring in a big name surrogate without being weighed down by President Obama's public opinion woes....

I’m sure rural Iowans will be swayed by a fat wookie with her special three course dinner train that she boards.

They are bringing out the big guns, I see. Wonder how the Meatless Monday for school children will go over on Iowa? Joni can start writing her acceptance speech.

Wonder how the Meatless Monday for school children will go over on Iowa?The #1 industry in Des Moines is meat packing. I doubt they favor meatless anything.
Out in the country, corn is king (of course). Kale and Arugula? Not so much.

Bruce Braley must really have a death wish, inviting Michael Robinson to help him out.

Sure I’m not the only one who remembers when Democratic congressmen/wymen were falling all over themselves (about this time of the year, 1999) to avoid offers from sink president Willie to help with their campaigns.
Democratic presidential terms have been ending recently with a lot of awkward throat-clearing, strained recriminations and other political angst.
The MSM is already preparing his post-WH eviction rehabilitation. Man, they must feel stupid holding this looser out as: “Yeah! Maybe he really can lower the Earth’s temperature and ocean levels.
Barry has screwed the Donkey party for years to come, but the GOP probably already has their “snatch defeat from the jaws of victory” plan.

Since the Mooch hasn’t been in the public eye for quite a while, I’m just guessing she had some work done. Any bets??

Be very suspicious of any poll from the Des Moines Register showing Braley even or slightly ahead.
Half the newsroom is due at Tom Harkin’s steak fry this weekend...
