Talking Points Memo ^ | October 15, 2014 | Daniel Strauss

Posted on 10/15/2014 2:47:10 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

Iowa Republican candidate for U.S. Senate Joni Ernst seems to be inching ahead of Rep. Bruce Braley, according to a new USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Wednesday.

The poll found Ernst leading Braley 47 percent to 43 percent among likely Iowa voters. That poll followed a Quinnipiac University poll earlier in the day showing 47 percent for Ernst to 45 percent for Braley among likely voters.

Recent polling has generally shown Ernst with a lead of somewhere in between 2 to 3 percentage points over Braley.

The USA Today/Suffolk University also found 7.4 percent remain undecided

I’m more hopeful about this race every day. If she wins, Ernst will be a rising star.

Every RAT must lose if we’re going to save our country. I’m so sick of the “I ain’t votin’ ‘cause he ain’t conservative enough for me” crowd. Wake up, you fools!

Cant believe it. Michelle Obama went to campaign for the Democrat and mispronounced his name. Did her appearance not help him??

And what about the war on women?,,how can a woman such as Michelle Obama support a man running against a woman????

I know Tom Harkin, I’ve been to his beach home in the Bahamas. He is a flaming communist. I will be so pleased to see Ernst beat him.

If by “dropped”, you mean “killed in a plane crash” then, yes.

It may take Baby Steps. But the goal should be to vote against ALL Rats, get ALL Rats out of office. Then, we can focus on excising the RINOs. It’s doubtful we can get rid of the Rats and RINOs at the same time (though one can dream!).

The deceased Libertarian candidate will remain on the ballot, as voting has already begun.

Whatever, I’m just sick of Libertarians being on the ballot to help out the Democrats.

An I, on the other hand, am so sick of people like you telling me how to vote. Clearly your way has not worked and is responsible for the sorry state we are in, but you persevere, in spite of all evidence, to scold your fellow Americans who are not onboard with you in settling for the least worst.

And by the way, pointing a finger at someone means you have three fingers pointing back at you. Perhaps you should think twice about calling people fools.

Your way won’t work either, so what we get is more Obama. Thanks

Thanks, I have thought twice about it, and you’re still a fool. Obama and the left thank you for wasting your vote.

There is just no arguing with those people. They don’t understand politics or even simple math.

Anyone who votes third party in the November election or opts to sit out the election is as responsible as any Democrat for what befalls this country.

I am really beginning to believe that Obama is evil. He is worse than the cold narcissist that we have been hearing about. The CDC director said that Obama suspended the CDC protocols for the prevention of contagious disease a year ago because the protocols called for health screening of immigrants and closing the borders.

Yes we do, as well as early voting (yuck), satellite absentee voting (yuck), and county auditors (democrats) waging their own "get out the vote" efforts (yuck & yuck).
