2. McCain is polling as well as that no name running for Senate against Harkin

Harkin is leading Chris Reed 56% to 39%, basically the same numbers Obama is beating McCain.

3. If the poll rings true will that be the highest margin of victory to date for Harkin?

4. Our candidate for state house dropped out early, but her name is

still on the ballot. So the repug in our district is running unopposed in actuality. I was musing the other day how funny it would be if he lost because of all the straight ticket votes. Lose while running unopposed.
