“Mr. Hawk, why are you so sure VP will not get the nomination?”

- Because I posses probably the greatest political mind within our State’s borders.

“If you’re been running for Governor for 10 years..and you can’t get more than 33% in a straw poll in your area…you’re in deep trouble.” — HawkCR1

I’ll say this one more time. Compared to Roberts and Rants, the Crawford-Ida event wasn’t really BVP’s “area.”

Come down from your Johnson County tower, study western Iowa on a map, and get your facts straight.

Only because folks like you insist on painting him as one.

Peggy…keep up the equivocating….You haven’t answered a single point that I brought up.

If you’re been running for Governor for 10 years..and you can’t get more than 33% in a straw poll in your area…you’re in deep trouble.

As I stated, BVP should be walking away with this race….instead, he’s struggling to keep up and stay relevant.

I have no fear of a BVP primary win because it has a 0% chance of occurring.

Hawk,

Why do you keep insisting that the Crawford-Ida event was ONLY in BVP’s backyard? Roberts actually represents the eastern portion of Crawford County and Sioux City is closer to Ida Grove than Orange City is.

Your desire to see TEB as the nominee has hampered your ability to tell the truth, and your fear of a potential BVP primary win is palpable. Let it go, dude.

I didnt say it was a farce….Don’t try putting words in my mouth, Peggy.. you’re only making yourself an even bigger fool.

Go back and ready what I said…I clearly stated that BVP should have done FAR better than 33% in a straw poll in his own backyard. If BVP wants to have any hope of winning this nomination, he needs to be separating himself from the rest of the field…

Clearly, he’s not doing that. I’ll type this again Peggy so you dont have to go back and re-read it. With two candidates from the heart of Steve King country….BVP is going to have to do FAR better than just splitting the Western Iowa vote with Rants in order to win the primary

Once again, Pegster..BVP is not generating the type of enthusiasm that you’d see out of a “front runner” status candidate. The guy has been running for Governor for nearly 10 years…quite frankly, he should be walking away with this race, Peggy….instead, he’s struggling on a daily basis to keep himself from being defined as a single issue candidate.

The sad part is, Peg…is that BVP has done all the damage to his campaign himself..he has no one else to blame for it.

Hawk,

You alone can’t stop pointing out to us how BVP’s straw poll win at the Crawford-Ida Counties’ event was a farce.

Just relax and let the campaign run its course – you’re trying to hard to make it look like a lock for your boy Branstad.
