Heard Nussle has picked up $2.1 mil already

Think I heard it on WSUI today. Lot of bucks for an Iowa governor's race. Boy he must have some corporations who are really interested in raping Iowa when Nussle's in.

1. I found this posted on another message board

Nussle is apparently being supported by a new conservative 527 named the Iowa Leadership Council. Last year the group received large contributions from LoanMax, RJ Reynolds, and Anheuser-Busch. Hmmm, Liquor stores, tobacco shops, and payday loans?

2. I know it's a lot of money

and about $400,000 is from his old Congressional account. But Vander Plaats raised $1 million, nothing for Jim to sneeze at. I hope Vander Plaats makes it a race.
