It might be that Ernst campaigned as a conservative to get the nomination and is now running as a moderate in the general. She’s being outspent, letting attack ads go mostly unanswered, and backing away from conservative positions. Her motorcycle, shooting skills, and pork-cutting humor are nowhere to be found now.
Like Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz, she’s playing not to lose.
The SCF may be just unenthusiastic about her after a closer look.
Fortunately, Iowans can like boring, and Braley is a very weak candiddate.
So, what’s your gut feeling on the Iowa Senate Race? Will that idiot, Braley, win?
