There are lots of GOP primary races here, which may increase the base's turnout and tend to help Salier. I have 5 different contested races to pick. The hot Rat primary for 1st district Congressman, featuring an alleged ex-GOP 'moderate' vs. a Rat ex-Congressman, should keep the eastern Iowa Gore voters from messing with the GOP primary.
Ganske's ads now are all running the St. Elsewhere theme song, touting his surgical background. I loved that show, but wonder if offers quite the message Ganske wants to send. Does he want to come across as William Daniels' character, staff surgeon Dr. Craig? Hardly your compassionate conservative. Or does he want to come across as Ed Begley Jr.'s bumbling resident surgeon Dr. Ehrlich? An earlier Ganske ad did make a positive note for this audience by highlighting his vote to impeach Clinton. If Ganske wins the primary it would be great to use that issue against Harkin.
That is great...and accurate.
