HI Everyone!! We are alive and kicking in Iowa

Hey Guys.. Just a quick stop by to let you know that we are kicking it hard here in Iowa.. I think about you guys all the time.. I am occasionally posting somewhere else ..but I do look in on you guys often..We are just into the ground game so hard here.

Christie Vilsack is giving Steve King a run for his life.. The news is finally getting out to people that King has only sponsored one law to pass in the 9 years he has been in office and that was to name a post office. That does not mean we will get the seat.. but it is going to put the fear of GOD in King..

Kerry is right across the river from us.. and he is now running just 5 points behind.. In March he was 25 points behind.. but the truth about his opponent is finally coming out also.. and even though he is getting slammed with pac money.. there are only so many lies that pass through ..and then people really do start tuning out.

I am more optimistic now than ever.. the firestorm of commericals from the pacs that we have had to endure has gotten people to sour on the big money boys..

It is GOTV hard and heavy..

I think my greatest joy besides seeing the President re-elected will be in knowing that Adelson, Kochs, Rove.. etc.. spent billions down a rat hole for nothing!.

Just a little update on my corner of a conservative district... nobody is steamrolling the Democrats this election..
