Not only that but when the wife heard Joni’s add about nut plucking and pork whacking she said that was her kind of girl and would get a check off to her. The wife isn’t one to send political checks and we’re about eight states away. There has to be a lot of that kind of sentiment drifting around downtown Iowa.

Growing pains. Far too many cazndidates the past few cycles who either (and this only matters to the right) were unqualified for office or just taking advazantaged of the movement.

Hoping she doesn’t get too chummy with that bunch.

We need more Rs like Steve King.

Loras College just released a poll of the IA Senate race, and it shows Joni Ernst beating Braley by 48%-42%. Still a long way to go until November, but Ernst is looking pretty good right now.

A good start in liberal land, but the least misstatement and the wrath of the American people will come down on her like she is Todd Akin’s sister.

How can brucie attack her? texas trial lawyer beats on a girl? Lumping her as an Iowa Palin isn’t going to work. She has much more substance than brucie. It is too early to predict yet, but I think Joni got him knocked!!! Go Joni!

Braley doesn’t have to attack her. The Des Moines Register, Iowa television broadcasters and public broadcasting affiliates will do it for him. The national media and Hollywood types will do their part too.

Braley is a four-term sitting US Congressman. I am unaware of any connection to Texas. His career has been centered in Waterloo, Iowa, hometown of Michele Bachmann.

Those dumb comments need to be brought back up late August. Demand an explanation, demand a condemnation by Braley, demand an explanation and an apology by Braley.

It’s the Democrats who wage war on women.

“A lot of Union, universities voters? Seems like it should be more favorable to the Repub column.”

Iowa City, with the University of Iowa is a leftist stronghold. Lots of influence, at least in the past. Maybe the tide will eventually turn there too?

LOL. Stop, please. You're killing me.

The tide will turn at the U of I soon after San Francisco elects an evangelical Christian conservative mayor.
