Please understand that this is why we lost.

112. YES I VOTED FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA

I then would have stated the obvious, "Until the republicans run a candidate that is worthy enough to be President of the United States of America, I will never ever consider voting for a republican!"

I am from Iowa and we just elected that wing nut Ernst. From what I seen and is my opinion, Bruce Braley lost the election as soon as he went of the defensive and had to respond to all of the false and negative ads that ran here in Iowa. Then I was told by some campaign officials that if Braley went on the attack, they felt that he would look bad attacking a woman. Rep. Sandy Salmon (a.k.a. Tina Tuna) District 63 in the Iowa House won her race in 2012 as a result of false attacks against Bill Heckroth. Heckroth had to go on the defensive and ultimately lost his race. It looks like Grimes fell right into that same old trap. Sure, one cannot say that the republican wave didn't have anything to do with alot of Democrats not being elected or reelected, but once you are up against the ropes, its hard to come back and win.

But we must always remember that we are DEMOCRATS!
