[history]
State Republican Party Chairman Charles Larson Jr. contended today that the person who taped a meeting of Greg Ganske supporters was directed to do so by campaign staffers for Democratic Senator Tom Harkin.
Meanwhile, Des Moines police backed away from published reports that Des Moines businessman Brian Conley, suspected of taping the Ganske meeting, has asked for immunity.

Shame on Iowa! The Dungeye State!
To: Dog
This is great news. It means that even if Harkin does pull out the win here, the DNC has to spend more of its money in Iowa than in other races.
By my estimation, it seems like the Republicans have a great shot of retaking the Senate in November. Look at it this way:
There seems to be only one seat currently held by a Republican that is seriously being challenged: Tim Hutchinson in Arkansas.
On the contrary, there are TONS of currently held Democratic seats that are in serious trouble:
Torch in NJ, Carnahan in MO, Johnson in SD, Wellstone in MN, and Harkin in IA.
So, for the Democrats to hold onto the Senate, it seems like they have to either win in Arkansas over Tim Hutchinson and win at least four out of the five questionable Democratic seats above. If Hutchinson wins, then the Dems have to run the table on their vulnerable seats. Either way, this is going to be tough for the Dems to pull off. Basically, everything has to go their way.

Memo to Iowans: Time to shovel the pile of dung out of your barn.

Harkin fired his campaign manager today over this. This story is out of date.

This coming from someone who has Jeffords and Leahy as senators.

Somebody email Rush or Laura Ingraham and ask them to do a LexisNexis to see if Harkin ever commented about Nixon.

I wouldn't talk TOO big, coming from the biggest anti-gun state in the mid-west.
