bedsitter23In Iowa, it's close with the latest quote I have heard, Obama up by eight-tenths.
Meanwhile, Iowa's Secretary of State Matt Schultz is on a crusade to purge, 3,500 people off Iowa's voter's roll.
I am going to err in Schultz's side (a Republican) and say he's doing this for purely good intentions, and not because he is acting like someone who is in a mad dash to try and remove as many Latinos as possible out of the voting population in order to tilt the ballot over to Romney.
Sure, Schultz himself says that voter fraud isn't a problem in Iowa, and indeed voter fraud cases do seem minimal. Still, Schultz is a man on a mission, and although the courts seem to have prevented Schultz's goal (requiring picture ids to vote) from affecting November's election, I wouldn't count Schultz completely out yet. (Schultz is a colorful fellow who earlier in the year, said he was being framed by a Democratic strategist who was trying to make it looked like Schultz took cash to endorse Santorum).
Indeed, three western foriegners-portraying-Iowans were arrested last week (2 Canadians, 1 Mexican).
Canadians... It's time we put the America back in North America.
i don't really care about voter id laws except 1) I really hate people who post about it on Facebook and 2) I am not sure if it's all as many as Democrats as you think.
Still credit for Strawn's dogged determination.
He almost gets as much credit for working hard to get Romney elected as Americans For Prosperity.
That PAC is trying to get Romney elected by offering free gas.
Indeed, in Eastern Iowa, AFP at two Kum-and-Gos offered gas up at the price it was when Obama took office.
Cars waited in line for $1.84/gallon gas, surely the biggest and best stunt I have seen in some time, in order to say things aren't better now than they were 4 years ago.
Not sure if it shifted any votes (Coralville being nearthe University of Iowa, and the bluest county in the state), but I am sure it was popular.
I am also told the anti-Obama film 2016 was screening in Western Iowa and those local GOP members were offering cake and punch outside the theater, but somehow that isn't as effective as cheap gas, no matter what Jim Gaffigan says.
