The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the Hawkeye State finds Harkin ahead 54% to 40%

This is what frustrates me to no end. Iowa seems to me to be a perfectly normal sane place. I've known a few people from Iowa and they seem to be conservative or at least conservative to moderate. It's certainly not a left wing place like San Francisco or New York.
And yet they continue to elect this POS Harkin time after time. Do the people know what they are doing. When interviewed they will claim that they are for fiscal sanity and not radicals and yet they continue to elect this creep time and time again. I'm baffled. Does Harkin bring home that much pork or are the people there simply not aware of what type of guy he is?

You would be surprised. Eastern Iowa, especially Johnson county where the University of Iowa is, is probably as liberal as San Francisco. Harkin has done little if any advertising and Reed has 0 dollars. I’m surprised its that close..would love to see Tommy go. He is nothing but an ongoing embarrassment to Iowans...but I’m afraid the POS will still be around after November.
