1. So let's help Greenfield!

This is important!

2. It should be less than 6%

8. Yeah, that doesn't sound "narrow."

9. That was exactly what I was thinking

3. She should be polling in the 30's.

She is undeserving of her Senate seat. Ernst is a vapid nitwit with zero leadership skills. And she is corrupt with Koch Bros. money. She was put on the ballot to be a Stepford Senator.

4. Maybe Ernst will be "clever" enough rerun her hog castrating ad.

for the enjoyment of the idiots who voted for her.

5. Isn there an admiral running?

Nobody thinks he can get the nom?

6. That's a big lead

IA is Toad country. I'd focus on MA, AZ, CO, and NC to win the senate (also the presidency btw). Iowa is lost at all levels this cycle.

7. MA has two democrats.Do you mean ME?

10. I've heard good things about the admiral, Michael Franken

and that he'd likely be a stronger general election candidate against Ernst. However, Greenfield is a well known commodity in the state and some feel it's "her turn" to run. She has much higher name recognition and got an early start getting endorsements in state as well. I guess she also received sympathy because her first run for Congress was derailed when it was found a campaign staffer ahd forged signatures to get her name on the ballot.
