I posted a poll earlier this week asking who you support in the Democratic Primary for Governor. Please take the time to vote. The primary is coming up fast. It will be interesting to see where the people in the Iowa blogosphere stand compared to the outcome on June 6th.
In campaign news, the Fallon campaign is on a 50 County, 13 day Rural Working Tour. Kyle is blogging the stops and has some good stuff. About Ed stopping at a Brewery in Amana, Kyle wrote...After moving off the production line, Ed discovered he’s also not so good at tapping beer. Thankfully, Ed’s press secretary, Lynn, has some experience in the field.
Fallon has also been raising a bunch of money recently. In the last 2 weeks of April, they raised over $35,000 to surpass their media budget. In May, they have a goal to raise $75,000 and already have raised $17,000.
Culver has started airing TV ads. I haven't seen any on yet, but then I don't watch much TV beside Comedy Central from 10-11. You can see the ads online though. Chet goes over better on TV than he does in person. Not sure if that is a good thing or not.
I have a qustion for the Blouin campaign. What's up with your poll? They have a poll asking what issue is most important to you. They have the obvious choices: education, job creation, health care and then they have 2 others...protecting natural resources and capital punishment. Blouin's taking a left jab at Judge and right hook at Culver with those choices. However, a total of 8% of the people voting think those 2 issues are the most important. Good news for Blouin, the state legislature should be done tomorrow, so he will be able get those checks for the unions and PAC's a couple days before the primary.
As for Sal Mohammed. A friend told me he say Sal in Des Moines standing on corner on University holding up a Sal Mohammed for Governor sign. Not totally sure this is true. A person with some intelligent ideas about how to better run the state would have better luck working on getting his message out than holding up a sign. Maybe Sal should start a blog.

Sal definitely does stand on street corners here in Des Moines. I have seen him do it before. He's an interesting man.
Thanks for the link. I'll return the favor at some point this week.

I saw him, too. His sign said, "Will Work for Food."
Bacon, Bacon, we miss you!
I'm beginning to wonder about the poll...it is always interesting to refresh the results every hour and watch the numbers change so drastically. Do that many people really continually clean out their cookies to vote again? ;-)
It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Sal on the streets of Des Moines. I'm from Sioux City, and he's often seen doing the same thing on Gordon Drive, one of the main roads in the city.
