But we detailed the race between McKinley Bailey and Jamie Johnson this week. We specifically looked at campaign contributions of these two candidates. The result was the revelation that Bailey's vote seems to be bought and paid for by special interest groups. That is where the majority of his campaign funds have come from. Johnson on the other hand has received most of his donations from individuals rather than special interest groups. <BR/>Another race we have looked at is Jarret Heil against Steve Sodders. Sodders is being supported by a shadowy 527 group whose contributions come almost exclusively from business entities from out of state. In all of our research we are beginning to see a pattern here. For the most part the Democrats are being supported by special interest groups and business interests whereas the Republicans tend to be supported by the grassroots.<BR/><BR/>AlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512632028071754450.post-13244991804781033192008-10-22T09:46:00.000-05:002008-10-22T09:46:00.000-05:00can you list down the endorsements on the so calle...can you list down the endorsements on the so called viable candidates ? One " so called viable " candidate I know got an F from the NRA and is a pro choice. I heard the candidate with the opponent on a fourm and the lies the Republican candidate made makes me want to vote for the opponent. It was a shame.

I would hope we would instead focus on the more viable candidates.<BR/><BR/>Blogging about candidates with no money and no prospects is a waste of our time.

If you would like, you are more than welcome to use it for research or to bone up on candidates. That is what it is there for. That website is www.iowabrigade.wordpress.com. If you have any questions that you would like us to ask in the future, just let us know and we will include them as well. We want to do everything that we can to ensure that we retake the house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512632028071754450.post-84610660306356956542008-10-21T10:14:00.000-05:002008-10-21T10:14:00.000-05:00No offense taken.

I don't get a single press release from a legislative candidate, I wish that wasn't the case. <BR/><BR/>I can't write about what's going on unless someone clues me in. In some cases I have some very loyal people who keep me informed, in others like the districts you mention I don't hear a thing.<BR/><BR/>If campaigns want the new media to cover their campaigns they need to engage them.<BR/><BR/>By the way you should be commended for your efforts this year.

If you look at the liberal side of the spectrum they are constantly promoting their candidates. I just think that our side could be doing a much better job. Once again I was not calling you out specifically, you just popped into my head first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
