Been in central Iowa for a few days, and it is looking good here!
The President was in Iowa City last week.. unfortunately I did not get to see him, I was at other meetings.. but people are very very jazzed about the passage of health care, and fired up!

Nothing, I mean nothing like what is going on in certain parts of the blogosphere.. people are stoked!

The teabaggers, the militias etc.. people want nothing to do with fringe types.. (I am talking self described conservatives.

The right is shooting itself in the foot!

1. Thanks for the report from
Central Iowa, Peacetrain!~ It's so good to hear from on the ground..especially your kind of news that it's not like the teabaggers or how it is in the blogosphere.

2. I pray that folks who pay attention are paying attention.
You saw that AP hit piece, didn't you?
They are gonna keep trying.
I really can't stand this bullshit. :grr:

4. I'm sure AP did have a hit piece..they're not
going to change their stripes.

They'd rather go down in a bushcheney/mcpalin economy.

6. I feel that We on the Left are on the right track
when it comes time for Election.

I do believe that WE are on the RIGHT side of history.

Let's keep working to Change this country for the better.

11. Honestly right now, nothing I see on the horizon..
is going to lose Iowa for the President.. even the oldsters are getting the drift that HCR is benefiting them big time.

Now what is going to happen about off shore drilling and peoples attitudes locally..well that I don't know, have not heard anything yet..
