Political Wire has a post about Jim Leach facing the toughest challenge in his political career. Let's hope they are right.
Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA) "may face the challenge of his political career," according to the Cedar Rapids Gazette, noting a new internal Democratic poll showing that 64% of district voters "think the country is on the wrong track and fewer than 50 percent of them plan to vote for the long-term incumbent."Check out Dave Loebsack's campaign website. Dave is finsishing up his walking tour and you can about it here. And send him some money if you are able to.
When asked if they would vote to re-elect Leach, 38% said yes, 23% said they would consider someone else and 25% said they would vote to replace him.
However, in a head-to-head matchup with challenger Dave Loebsack (D), Leach still leads 47% to 33%.

I am a life-long Democrat,
and an Iowa expatriate.
I would nominate Leach as one
of the few thoughtful,
principled, completely honest
Republicans in national office. He can be infuriatingly obtuse, and the national party uses him without acknowledging his dissents and caveats --
but he is not a bought man.
