Question - Iowa 5th District- Matt Campbell vs. Mike Denklau (incumbent is nutbag Steve King)

Edited on Tue Jun-08-10 09:21 AM by Lil Missy

Anyone know how to find poll information on this race? It's my impression that Campbell is a moderate Democrat and Denklau may be a progressive challenger. Any pro's or con's I should know about either candidate?

That is probably a good place to start.
Looks like there are a couple diaries on the side concerning the 5th district.

ETA - I believe you assessment is correct. What little I have heard gives Campbell the edge.
CAn the 5th district gin up some anti-incubent sentiment this fall? I sure hope so.

8. Keep your fingers crossed on the Grassley thing.. He shot himself

in the foot more than once this year.. We might actually be able to move that old goat out and put a Democrat in his place.

Going to be a tough go, because he is so entrenched.
