Ernst not meeting with state newspapers’ editorial boards (KCRG News)

I sincerely hope this backfires on her.

DES MOINES — Joni Ernst, the Republican candidate for Iowa’s open U.S. Senate seat, canceled her meeting with the Des Moines Register’s editorial board Thursday morning and has not scheduled meetings with three more of Iowa’s largest newspapers.

Ernst, a state senator from Red Oak, is running against Bruce Braley, a Democratic U.S. House member from Waterloo.

In addition to canceling her meeting with the Register’s editorial board, Ernst has not scheduled meetings with the Quad-City Times, The Gazette or Dubuque Telegraph Herald, despite repeated attempts by those newspapers, their editors confirmed Thursday.

Election Day is Nov. 4, less than two weeks away.

1. I really hope for you guys in Iowa

It DOES backfire!

You deserve better than a Senator who doesn't even believe in America.

6. Right?

She wants to carry a firearm as defense against the government, yet she *is* the government (as a state senator).

2. I hope the Braley camp takes advantage of this.

5. Me too...or maybe the newspapers will, since they're being dissed.

*fingers crossed*

3. She "led people in combat" and she's too scared to meet with newspapers.

In fact, one of her spokespeople said that they would not meet with the Des Moines Register because "they have made their views very clear concerning Joni." That sounds like maybe the Register is actually reporting that she is BATSHIT CRAZY! I think that people are finally starting to figure this out and she will be defeated on election night. If she wins, it'll forever known as "erection night" because we'll all be screwed.

4. "erection night"

...though I shouldn't laugh, because it won't be funny AT ALL if she gets elected.

7. The DMR put this on an inside page for some reason

But Rekha Basu lambasted Joni and I 'm sure some editorial page piece will hit her too for being AWOL on this issue.

8. So I'm going to a fund raiser tonight

Cory Booker will be there on behalf of our candidate. I'm saving your link on my cell phone and will share it with people. Maybe we can get some more money in Braley's coffers to make an ad out of this. I don't want that woman anywhere near Booker.
