On election night I said I would talk about the take down of Iowa by the right a little later.. wanted to celebrate how good we were doing.. I told everyone.. we are in great shape.. this country is ready for a change.
BUT this is for the powers that be that may drift by DU..not the hard working Democrats who access this site also..
Iowa got hit by the red tide.. no two ways about it.. but as some started to call Iowa a *hithole state, I tried to limit my anger to .. just stop that.. Iowa is NOT NOT NOT a *hithole state..
Democrats worked their fingers to the bone here.. but we cannot get a bit of help from the party. Fly over country they like to say.
The people who are in charge of the party.. who are in places of power most us will never see.. should pay attention to and ponder on the Dean 50 state plan. He was right.. we reclaimed Va,. NC etc.. but suddenly we went coastal and rural don't count and we lost Wisconsin, Iowa almost Minnesota.. The powers that be need to stop writing entire states off..
In 2020 Miller Meeks got the house over Democrat Rita Hart by 6 votes .. 6 count them ..
Once people get in office it is like granite getting them out..
Admiral Franken was behind Grassley by only 3 points in October.. but as we all know most voters make up their minds in the last two weeks of the election.. Where was the support for Democrats when we needed them..I remember when Martin O Malley came and campaigned for our people years ago... but I am not seeing any investment in money and or time in the state.. there is no reason in the world that Iowa should be a red state.. purple yes.. red no
We need to stop the dropping the middle of the country as fly over country and focusing only on the coasts.. we need to go back to the Dean philosophy. I am not saying we all get the same amount of money.. but just writing the Midwest off is wrong!.. This is Obama country for Christs sake.. Jimmy Carter country..
