.... Bubba was supposedly here for the Gov and Senate candidates. Central and Rural Indiana ALWAYS go red.
Him being here right in the middle of the state probably won't have much effect, honestly.
Northeast (Chicago burbs) tend to go blue, and it was the African American turnout in that area that sealed it for POTUS in 2008.

a book signing a few days before his heart attack. He looked tired(so the news of his heart attack when it came

didn't surprise me) but still his charisma was palpable. I remember being surprised. Before the event I'd assumed

descriptions of his star power were exaggerated. After that meeting I never doubted it.

was another couple thou out side trying to get in. az could use a slice of campaign money. it could go blue.

That would certainly make our incumbent weasel who won't debate the DEM challenger perhaps think he didn't have a cake walk after all.

We have climate change because the sun is just hotter these days... and oh, um, there is a lot of water vapor.

Tea Party, non thinking individual who doesn't believe in science or that women can make up their minds about their bodies without the help of rightwingnuts.

Very bad human being.

but it was a 4 hr drive and I had stuff that would have put me there too late. It would have been awesome.

RINGSTED, Iowa, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Democrats fighting an uphill battle to win a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives are trying to use rural angst over the failure of congressional Republicans to pass a farm bill to win some Midwestern seats in the Nov. 6 election.

The farm bill, which sets subsidies for everything from crop insurance to milk production, expired on Oct. 1 after the Republican majority in the House could not muster enough votes to pass a new law.

No race demonstrates the Democratic strategy better than in western Iowa, where Christie Vilsack, the wife of President Barack Obama's agriculture secretary, Tom Vilsack, is stressing the farm bill in a bid to unseat conservative Republican Representative Steve King.

"The lack of a farm bill right now has the farming community up in arms," said Bryan Kruse, 34, who has two small farms and works for another farmer to pay the bills outside Ringsted, population 422. "We need to get something done."
