Krusty mentions a recent WSJ-Zogby poll showing Republican Nussle within spitting distance of Democrat Culver. I'll bet Nussle has closed the gap ever since the Des Moines Register's overpromotion of Michael J. "Stepin Fetchit" Fox's recent appearance at Drake University.
Krusty also talks about Ed Fallon writing a song encouraging voters to not write him in, an act which will certainly cause even more people to write him in.
The WaPo says Democrat Braley is at 49% while Mod Whalen is 42%. A month ago Reuters/Zogby had Whalen ahead 47% to 34%. Now Braley has had considerable exposure thanks to Drudge for telling John Kerry to stay home and not campaign with him, which can't be good for Braley. This opens the door for Whalen to question everything about Bruce Braley and how it relates to John Kerry's attitude towards the men and women of our volunteer armed forces. It's the company you keep, stupid.
All that brings us to the new theme song for the Bruce Braley campaign. It's "Don't Stand So Close To Me '86" by The Police. While the song's lyrics are a pastiche on the Nabakov novel "Lolita", it's the chorus that's important. Don't Stand So Close To Me '86 was also the last thing The Police recorded before they broke up, a misguided remake of an earlier hit that ended up on a Greatest Hits compilation after an aborted attempt to create an album featuring other remakes of past hits, a scenario which also tends to sum up the nature of too many Democratic candidates in this election year.
