State Sen. Joni Ernst has worked her way to the front of a crowded Republican field in the U.S. Senate race in Iowa, according to a new Suffolk University poll. However, the contest remains wide open with 40 percent of survey respondents still undecided.
Twenty-five percent of Republican primary voters said they support Ernst. Businessman Mark Jacobs came in second with 23 percent, while college professor Sam Clovis took 7 percent of the support. Scott Schaben and Matt Whitaker each garnered less than 5 percent. Ernst also came in first place among “second choice” candidates, with Whitaker and Jacobs narrowly trailing her.
Ernst recently received an endorsement from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and she has posted strong fundraising numbers. The lieutenant colonel in the Army National Guard also made news when her first television ad referenced hog castration as a model for cutting pork in Washington. While the spot became late-night comedy fodder, it appears to have been effective in the farm-rich state.

This is a positive development. Joni Ernst is the best candidate for the general election and she is not a RINO. Bruce Braley would make good foil for her.
Well duh... castrating pigs in DC resonates.

Their are a number of the comity crowd in the House of Lords ( the Senate ) that are getting fitted with Titanium underwear as we speak. It doesn't matter after the 90's and 900 pages of raw FBI Files Hilda has all of theirs in a lock box anyhow...
Ernst’s longtime closeness with Mitt Romney gives me pause.
I have been supporting Sam Clovis from the beginning and believe he is still the best candidate that reflects FR values and would be the best choice for Iowa.
This is a key test of Palin’s relevance. It’s an unimpressive field of second tier candidates, Ernst should be able to win.
