REBECCA KAPLAN November 1, 2014 Harry Reid: Senate Control Hangs On One Key Race

Republican takeover of the Senate will likely depend on the outcome of the Iowa Senate race.

"What Joni Ernst would mean, coming to the United States Senate, is that Mitch McConnell would be the leader of the Senate, someone who agrees with her on virtually everything. Think what that would mean to our country," Reid said Saturday, according to Roll Call.

Republican Joni Ernst is neck and neck with Rep. Bruce Braley, the Democratic candidate. Reid was participating in a conference call organized by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, which was phone banking for Braley.

The latest CBS News/New York Times Battleground Tracker had the two tied at 44 percent each.

Nobody’s listening, Harry. (Next he’ll be speaking ebonics.)

This outlook ignores the idea that if it comes down to one rave, then every race counts. It isn’t just about Iowa. Maybe they would just like to create that impression to discourage others.

Iowans need to be told that a vote for Braley is a vote for Harry Reid.

What a lowlife. With that squeeky voice. Wish he AND McConnell would retire, turn the reins over to a new generation who can do better than they have.

I was thinking the same thing this morning, but it was the old dawg Bill Clinton who is campaigning against her today.

HILLARY'S IN IOWA---MEANS BRALEY IS SHOVEL-READY It's always good news when a Clinton comes in to flack a Democrat---it usually means the desperate candidate is in the death throes---- the Clinton visit usually finishes him/her off.

==========================================

Poor Joni is at the mercy of desperate Dummycrats' vote fraud machine----b/c when Braley loses, the long knives will be out for lamebrain Michelle Obama. She came off as an illiterate nincompoop at a Braley rally.

The Princeton grad can't even read. Surrounded by Braley campaign posters at the campaign rally, she kept calling him "Bailey."

Now that she "likes" her country and has a bit of self-esteem, ensconced in the WH at the rate of $1.5 billion per year----plus her endless posh vacays----Obama wont allow her royal self to be tarnished. Iowa vote fraud is on bigtime.

=============================================

JONI'S FIGHTING BACK Joni and the RNC filed open records requests with five Iowa counties, seeking materials that include training manuals, satellite voting locations, names of precinct ballot counters, recount procedures and any communications sent to her opponent.

A public records request from a political candidate isn’t unusual, but the volume of materials Ernst’s campaign is seeking in five ays right before an election isn’t typical, several auditors said.Iowa Code Section 22 allows public records custodians a “good faith, reasonable delay” in providing records if they’re trying to figure out whether the documents are confidential, but the delay shouldn’t exceed 10 business days.

<><><> The National Republican Senatorial Committee sent a letter to the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office Oct. 6 seeking election materials that included voting instructions, satellite polling locations, names of ballot counters, recount rules and any materials sent to Braley’s campaign. NRSC general counsel Megan Soward, who signed the Oct. 6 letter, did not return a press phone call Wednesday.

The director of elections for the Iowa Secretary of State which oversees voting irregularities... replied with links to state election training materials and information about satellite polling locations.

Cong Braley or his sponsors--significantly--have not made a similar request.

If it hangs on IA, they’ve lost. I don’t want control, I want a blowout where even “on the fence” Dems lose.

A slew of Dem candidates refused to say whether
they would endorse Harry Reid as majority leader.

"I hereby dub you a major loser."

“Joni is up by one... Which means 49.5% of Iowans are clueless lemmings.”

Well, there’s a brand new DeMoines Register Poll that has Earnst up by SEVEN! Further, that Braley is even loosing in his current House district by THREE!

Kenny, you can’t forget hacked voting machines that switch Republican votes into Rat voes. (But never the other way around ... how odd!)

How many voting machines are corrupted? My guess is ALL of them.

His singling out of Ernst says much more in her favor than anything else - the Left fears strong conservatives and especially if they're female or minority. GO JONI!!!

It’s going to be tough for Harry to live by the rules he created when his becomes the minority party, i.e. nuclear option! I can’t wait till the Republicans use his own rules against him!!
