1. Woo Hoo for Culver!!

:woohoo: He's consistently beat Jim Nussle

(although I'm not so blinded by Chet's blond hair, blue eyes and bright smile to see Blouin and Fallon sneaking up - time for Culver to put it into gear and bring this primary home!! :bounce:

2. Good news..

The good news (that everyone can celebrate) is that it looks like all 3 candidates are doing relatively well and even Blouin and Fallon, who have consistently trailed behind Nussle this whole race, are gaining ground. Nussle on the other hand is hanging pretty tight at around 40. What that means to me is that the Democratic message is getting out and being heard, and that the 40% whack jobs are still alive and kickin.

If this primary can continue to energize the three subsections that these candidates seem to represent, and then keep them energized and working for whoever the nominee is, we are in great shape!

Oh, and go Culver! It's nice to see a Democrat kicking a Republicans ass these days!

ON EDIT: Hey Debi, you didn't even have to post this one! ha ha.

3. At first I thought the poster was a new Culver staffer signed on to do my

job - then, when I looked at the poster's profile, I realized that people all over America love and respect Chet Culver B-)


:P

Still - VERY happy about the poll.

You are correct, Seth, that all of this bodes well for the Democratic Party. No matter who the nominee is - WE WILL KICK NUSSEL'S ASS :kick:

4. Commercial

As I sit here over lunch I am happy to see the new polling report and see Culver's first TV ad of the campaign season. It is a commercial where he and Patty talk about their experience and accomplishments.

I am a soft Culver supporter, but if there were yard signs ready to put up I would put one out. HINT to the campaign ;)

5. I bet they have them @ HQ!

I like the feed the world ad as the better of the two, but the one with Patty is just fine. (Plus - I am no fan of sweater vests :bounce:)

How are you? PM me and let me know how life is going. d.

6. I used to appear on the same platform with the elder Culver

in my own (ill-fated) political days. So I have a sentimental spot for the son. Yowzir, maybe Nussle will finally meet his Waterloo or anyway his War of 1812!!

7. who has the mo

Looking at the poll it seems as if Fallon and Blouin are the ones with big mo on there side. With the Kentucky Derby coming up i always like my horse to be a closer not the one who sprints from the gate. With ads on the air and name recognition rising I think this is any ones race to win or lose. The great news is that it appears that Nussle is stuck in mud.
