Yup. She's a nutjob. Unfortunately the press is too busy reporting fabricated stories about Braley and his neighbor's chickens to tell the people of Iowa this.

Let local law enforcement arrest federal officials who try to carry out federal laws? Meh
HOLY sh**t!!! BRUCE BRALEY DOESN'T LIKE CHICKENS!!!

Indeed. I was shocked when I saw this earlier. Such a shame.

Ernst declined a candidate interview with the Des Moines Register, but had no problem going on Fox and Friends.

Good, hopefully the DMR offers a scathing takedown of Ernst once they endorse Braley.

In other news, Ernst pulls a Sharron Angle and discusses second amendment remedies:

DMR Endorses Braley, unsurprisingly

Let's hope this whole saga gives Braley the slight boost he needs to bring this one on home.

Considering the DMR endorsed Romney, it'll be hard for the media to dismiss it as "Dem hacks being Dem hacks!" but I still expect them to try.

It'll have as much effect as their endorsement of Romney or non-endorsement of the Gov-for-Life.

Do you think the Denver Post endorsement helped Gardner? It seemed to give him a bit more momentum. In a super close race, that can make a difference.

DSCC ad against Ernst. This is one of my favorite ads of the cycle, if nothing else because I think the background music is pretty eipc. Just my opinion though.

Not a major scandal, but in a race as close as this one, it can't be good for Bailey that this is one of the main stories coming out of Iowa today.

^ People say Sarah Palin looks like Peggy from King of the Hill. I think Ernst looks much more like her.

Harkin has been awful this entire campaign season. First choosing not to run in what would have been a safe race, sitting on millions of dollars that could have been used to help Braley and now this.

It's pretty amazing to me how little Ernst's general craziness has hurt her in this race.

In a couple cases I think she deflected charges against her fairly brilliantly--with climate change, e.g. But there was so much for Dems to work with...

Interesting to compare the course of this race to Indiana and Missouri 2 years ago.
