Dueling Headlines for Iowa GOP
February 16th, 2008 at 03:47pm Geraldine
While Christopher Rants proclaimed that Iowa House Republicans will regain their majority as the party of health care and education, the two leading staffers at the Republican Party of Iowa were fired by new Chairman Stu Iverson. While Iowa Republicans had a mixed record in 2004 and a colossal collapse in 2006, it doesn’t help to be starting from scratch nine months before the election. Rants can talk about how vulnerable Eric Palmer or Elesha Gayman are until he turns blue in the face but if there is no party infrastructure behind their challengers, he’ll still be talking about how Palmer and Gayman are vulnerable incumbents in 2010. The Republicans do not have the necessary campaign infrastructure and if their message is to run against Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton on health care, they’re not going to have much luck with that either.

I do not believe Eric Palmer will be vulnerable at all. Eric is one of the few Iowa Democrats who has had the nerve to put Iowa Consumers before special interests. There are many other Democrats, however, who may find voters do not take kindly to representatives who chase corporate PAC money at the expense of common every day Iowans. You can’t just talk the talk during the campaign, you have to walk the walk when it comes time to vote.
