"She's so out of line with mainstream Iowans, mainstream Americans, that she refuses to appear before editorial boards," Reid said. "She has spent the entire campaign talking about what she did as a young girl, castrating animals. That is not the issue."

Ernst said this week that she wasn't expecting to receive the endorsement of the Des Moines Register even if she sat down with the paper's editorial board as initially scheduled.

"They made it clear in a number of editorials they would not be supporting my candidacy," Ernst told Fox News on Thursday. "It's important for me to be out on the road meeting with voters across Iowa, allowing them to reach out and shake my hand and ask me tough questions. It's better to be on the road than to sit in front of a board that was not going to endorse me."

1. That used to be called

"the lunatic fringe". Now they want to run the asylum.

2. I will be so ashamed to call myself an Iowan if/when she gets

elected on Tuesday.

3. Ernst admits she is not out to represent anyone other than those that vote for her, and will

literally castrate any human pig that does not....yet she may still win?

Because of low voter turnout?

Do folks know that these religious kooks and literal fascists literally want to do that to you.....?

4. What Harry is overlooking is this:

NOTHING is too extreme for today's Republican Party. Tomás de Torquemada would be considered mainstream to them.

5. she ought to be too extreme for Iowa

but supposedly she is a contender.

Go figure.

6. And the Iowa Poll just released yesterday...

…shows that Ernst is winning by 7 points.

My heart is sick over this.

The stupid article, publishes in the Des Moines Register actually includes a quote
from the pollster, "It looks like this race is decided."

I don't necessarily put total faith in this poll, but I'm worried that it could have a
chilling effect on Dem voters. This is the most important race on the Iowa ticket.
Our governor will win in a landslide. The motivation for going to the polls, is to vote
for Tom Harkin's replacement--Bruce Braley (D) or Joni Ernst--R.

If most Iowans, due to this poll, think this race is all ready clinched, they may not
turn out. That's what pisses me off. I don't think the Register should have slanted
the article about the poll in ways that make it appear as though Ernst has won.

Pisses me off royally. I will vote for Braley, and I'll be there with bells on. Ernst
is so extremist.

7. Poll's an outlier. Other polls show raise as very tight. N/t
