Driving through my small Iowa town over to a friend's house this evening,

I saw lots of Harris/Walz signs and no Trump signs. It could have just been the neighborhood, but I've got my hopes up for Iowa!

Also, there was a Harris/Walz commercial during the Iowa/Minnesota game yesterday....

... Maybe a beer, maybe a brandy or glass of home made wine, some deer sausage, cucumber on cocktail bread slice with sour cream and dill. And off to the next farm house. Everyone had a glow, but no one got knee walking. On the weekends, somebody would pit a pig. BBQ and Iowa football.

Just because it ran on a local television station doesn't mean it wasn't a local ad. It could have run Nationwide or region wide not just for example KSAT 12 or WOAI 4

But hubby said, "It's national" I respond: "They have local commercials during NFL games don't they?" No response....

It's purplish. Kind of surprising.
I imagine a lot of people will still vote for him; they just don't want to advertise that they support him.

On the flip side, our county Dems are expecting 700 hundred Harris/Walz signs to be delivered in a couple days.
