2 stops for Palin in Iowa today? And one in Indiana
I love that they have to keep spending time in Indiana.

But is it with them spending another weekend in Iowa?

1. The campaign is in such disbelief to send her to Iowa
I guess it's a state the Palin family hasn't been to yet. They'll be driving around in one of those RVs where the states they have visited are colored in :eyes:.

2. Like PA, the McCant camp keeps insisting they can win Iowa

3. Palin's paving the way for 2012. The IA GOP was recently taken over by right wing creationists...

And she's making sure they will be in her corner in four years.

9. True....
However, pretty much every county branch of the GOP is fracturing now (or has already) between the fiscal conservatives and the fundamentalists. Especially with Huckabee winning the Iowa caucuses, the fiscal conservatives are livid. I would not be surprised if one group kicks the other out.

4. Strange
We have Iowa locked up, I thought. I think we'll be very happy on Nov. 4 regarding Indiana. :9

11. We do, and we should
Iowa is one of the stronger Democratic states this round. 538.com has Iowa up by 12.4 for Obama. This is higher than Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Hampshire, and even Maine, all of which are Kerry states. We Iowans LOVE Obama, and HATE McCain.

Indiana is looking good for us. Three of four most recent polls have us up in Indiana.

5. PA is back off the map, the GOP is going back to the "red" states
and hope they can sneak it in there.

6. Iowa is waste...maybe helping local repug?
Repugs have got to be worried about a total blowout in Iowa. Indiana just might turn blue...it's that close in some polls. They have a reason to be worried there.

7. That may be the key. Although how he/she can HELP is beyond
me. The RNC is targeting the house and senate by warning people that Obama with a full house means everything goes his way. They would really like to keep the Senate in their hands.

12. Not likely
She going to be in Des Moines (incumbent Dem), Sioux City (incumbent Repuke that is unlikely to need help), and Cedar Falls (incumbent and popular freshman Dem). I think one of the previous posters said that she's getting an early start on the 2012 caucuses, which is as likely as anything.

13. Pretty sure
I know some people that have already voted. I did too, but I went absentee. (I'm at college out of district.)
