i'm shocked by that. Especially since Branstad has the name recognition and was popular during his first four terms.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Making his first priority an amendment to ban gay marriage, in the midst of an economic crisis, surely hasn't done him any favors.

Voters like Republicans when they're criticizing Democrats. When they're actually trying to govern... not so much.

Oops, they did it again. Actual 2010 electorate was 31 D, 35R, 34 I. Actual 2008 electorate was 34 D, 33 R, 33 I.

I dunno, Branstad is kind of an institution in Iowa.

Oops, they did it again. Actual 2010 electorate was 31 D, 35R, 34 I. Actual 2008 electorate was 34 D, 33 R, 33 I.

Scandalous.
