So they BOTH are. Good luck, California. You don’t have many great choices. You guys are like us in PA. Philadelphia neutralizes Conservatives in this state. You have an overwhelming obstacle in LA AND San Francisco....and the odds of any conservative getting elected to a seat with any real power is almost non-existent.
I guess you take the r if you can get it. Sad.

Iowa Democrats have 100,000 more registered voters than Republicans

FYI: Received the answer to my question from valued FReeper in the know in Iowa: Vander Plaats is Huckaboob's guy.

Sarah endorsed the right candidate.

You've actually been forced to stoop to rumor-mongering about Conservatives like Nikki Haley, and using liberal outlets to make judgments on a guy like Branstad (not to mention name-calling at Sarah Palin). You've gotten that desperate.

He sits up on his booster seat in front of his PC eagerly submitting his venomous, anti-Palin posts in a self-deluded notion that it will somehow help build support for Duncan Hunter.
His site name, 'pissant', I'd say accurately describes not only his physical stature, but mental as well.

She stepped in it again?

pissant, I might have to tag you the Joe McGuinniss of FR.

Looks like she made the smart endorsement. The other guy is a two time loser backed by Huckaboob. The idea is to win the governorship back from the democrat.

Both Roberts and Branstad are good candidates.

Branstad IS a true conservative. Don’t believe the RAT and BVP talking points. They are meant to mislead. The RATs want BVP to win the nomination because they want to run against him in Nov. For now, the RATs and BVP are on the same side.

Yup, Branstad did the wrong thing here and the BVP people have used it some BUT BVP is doing similar things NOW. He endorsed an Independent in a Iowa House race and he bragged about an endorsement he got from a Senate candidate who bragged that he will not support Branstad if he is the nominee.

BVP and RATS are running now as a tandem team. BVP doesn't understand they are actually insulting him because they want him to win the nomination because they fear Branstad in the fall.

VP is not a team player. He doesn't understand as governor, he needs Republican majorities. A group that is supporting him have even bragged they don't care if they elect Dims if the R candidate doesn't suit them.

BVP has no right questioning Branstad's party loyalty. Branstad is stressing the necessity of electing Rs in the fall and he is particularly supportive of a very good AG candidate we have in Brenna Findley who was Congressman Steve King's Chief of Staff.

Branstad is truly unselfish where BVP only thinks of himself.

True. But just as DeVore was polling as well abainst babs as Fiorina, Vander Plaats is beating the dem in the head to head.

It looks like the Palin Rabid Response Team is well represented here. :)

I don’t want any more crap about you being a PDSer. I saw you defend Sarah when she endorsed ‘conservatives’.

Thank YOU for adding the first hand and background information.

Several posters here do not understand that Iowa is turning blue and you’re trying to save your state from complete democrat control!

“Sarah made the right decision. Vander Plaats ran twice for the Governorship - in 2002 and 2006 - and lost both times. Once again we have 3 candidates in the field and only Branstad has the money and name recognition to compete. And he’s a solid conservative.”

This is exactly true.
