Rick Davis: McCain 'Dead Even in Iowa'
Townhall ^ | 10/31/08 | Matt Lewis

Everyone has written-off Iowa. In fact, we've been very curious as to why McCain -- who opposes Ethanol subsidies -- has "wasted" his time there this year.

I'm on a conference call right now with McCain campaign manager Rick Davis. According to Davis, McCain's internal polling shows them "dead-even in Iowa." Davis says this is the reason Obama is headed there to campaign ...

I never trusted the Iowa polls. I know how they feel about ethanol but that is no reason to vote for a liberal.

Good Tri-state location - IA, WI & IL and also a fairly strong union town.

If McCain is “dead even in Iowa” then he has to be doing ok in CO, and NV.

DO NOT POST “DEAD, EVEN IN IOWA” GARBAGE OR I WILL PULL ON THE SPOT. IT IS A FALSE RUMOR.

Is the racist narcissist going to boot the Iowa newspapers off his airplane now

Obama is such a loser.

Joe The Plumber and Tito The Builder are right.

Odinga is wrong.

This market, with all of the capitalization woes, is just too squirrelly to predict a political outcome. The signal would have to be huge, IMHO.

Yep, just as EVERYONE has been saying...watch where the candidates go, and not the public polls.
