Keep hearing that Earnst is ahead of Braley

[Bettie]

How can that be? She's crazy, crazy, crazy.

Someone tell me she can't win a statewide election...please!

1. I believe the last poll I saw had 45 - 41 Braley

I think Ernst peaked in August, while Braley hit his low.
Braley has been hitting Ernst hard, particularly on wanting to privatize SS and Medicare. That in a state that has one of the oldest populations in the country.
Ernst so far seems to be a stuck record with some bullshit ads about Braley missing some committee votes.

But as always we need to GOTV.

2. Yeah...GOTV is the most important thing there

Ernst is just Steve King in a dress...embarrassing to say the least.

4. Vote vote vote

5. Husband and I have our forms to vote by mail

I generally make calls on election day to remind people to vote.

Turnout is our best weapon. Larger numbers voting is usually good for our side!

6. Joni Cutyernutzoff seems to think that Primary Joni never existed

3. There's a Quinnipiac poll that has her up 50% to 44%

Quinnipiac Poll: outlier, or sign of shift in Senate race?

7. Kos had a story on the Q poll couple of days ago

definite outlier in almost every race they are polling. They changed their modeling and thus have changed their results dramatically.

can't find the story.

8. Drove to Marshalltown today from CF

Of course the rural areas have lots of Ernst and Branstad/Reynolds signs. But Cedar Falls seems much more purple than what I saw in Marshalltown - very few Dem signs.

Something else I was pondering as I was driving along: Ernst's signs have "joni" in big letters, and "Ernst" (note capitalization) in smaller, whereas the Braindead signs don't have the first names. Why? I would say it's a female thing, maybe, but Jane Jech's signs have first and last names about equal.
