As for bright spots for Democrats, in Iowa they have a 45.9-38.1% edge in early votes.

IOWA? Would someone please explain what is going on in this prairie state!

There could very well be a lot of Democrats voting Republican. Bulldogs, Reagan Democrats, farmers, even women, everybody but minorities and public employees might want to send a message if they feel that they have been had and defrauded by their own party.

If you know your Huckleberry Finn, you know that was the reaction of the people in Arkansas to being defrauded and presumed upon.

I thought Terry Branstad was ahead in the race for IA gov. in every poll. If Dems have this big of a lead in early voting either a lot of them are voting for Branstad, or perhaps there are just more Democrat voters there so naturally they would be turning out in larger numbers?
