Ace of Spades HQ: Giuliani Cooked? & Other Campaign News

Russ from Winterset: "It's not about Huck or his personal attributes. Any candidate with evangelical cred would have taken off in Iowa this year. The party's pissed that the so-con candidate for governor in '06 lost in the primary to Jim Nussle, a RINO congressman who ran a lack-luster campaign. They feel (and I can't totally blame them for this, unfortunately) that they've been told to shut up and vote for people who don't support the so-con agenda on abortion & gay marriage enough times that a bunch of them are going off the reservation to support a candidate that meets their approval on these two issues. It doesn't help that a county judge in Polk County (where Des Moines, the State Capital is located) ruled this summer that Iowa's ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional and allowed one couple to marry before overturning his own decision & sending it up the chain to the appeals court."
