FYI - "Sequoia Research, LLC" is sending out mailers that look like they are a survey from your county or state. They aren't commissioned by your gov't at all, it's some partisan think thank mining for voter data. We just got one today. Shred them if you get them.

Yeah I get fake voter data stuff weekly. It gets recycled right away."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

I got two questions into what was allegedly a "non-partisan" survey regarding Oakland County and suddenly they were asking how I felt about "Stand Your Ground" laws and red light traffic cams, neither of which are legislated at the county level (especially not the former). I didn't sense any pushing, but I'm still not giving them my data.Originally posted by Kepler View PostComment

Minor upset in Iowa as retired Admiral Mike Franken beat former US Rep. Abby Finkenauer for the right to lose to Grassley this fall. I'd characterize it as personableness winning out over identity. Main thing Finkenauer had going for her was being a young female to contrast with Grassley. But between the unforced errors with her nominating petition, her ridiculous comments about the district judge in that case, and her ability to take even a simple "how's it going?" and respond with a political answer, and I think people were looking for an alternative.
No other surprises in the primary at the state level. The GOP overwhelmingly backed the establishment candidate over the 2 nutjobs to take on Axne in IA-3. The national pundits believe the district shifted right in redistricting, but it's going to come down to Polk and Dallas Counties same as ever. If Axne basically ties in Dallas and wins Polk by 40,000, it's over. If she wins Polk by 30,000 or less and loses Dallas by more than 10%, she'll be in trouble. Anything in between and it'll be close.Comment

Yeah. Barring an unforseen event that shifts the electorate left, the Dems are clearly playing defense in Iowa this year. They'll be happy if they hold Axne's congressional seat and keep the state AG, Treasurer, and Auditor.Originally posted by dxmnkd316 View Post
I think that's all doable, but I don't see any gains anywhere except for maybe a state house seat or two that got shifted closer to the urban centers due to redistricting.Comment

I figured. The cost of diesel and gas probably aren't helping either. I imagine that pushes a lot of land in Iowa further right.Originally posted by unofan View PostCode:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Gas prices are a cheap and VERY noticeable talking point that reaches EVERYONE, not just the FOX crowd. If the price is high, there will be a noticeable shift to the right for votes across the board. Not just hardcore, lifelong DERPS.It's never too early to start the Pre-game festivities

Yes, but I would think it's especially true in Iowa vs. NYC.Originally posted by RaceBoarder View Post
Edit:
Actually, it's going to be true in at least three scenarios I can immediately think of. 1) Sparely populated. 2) economy driven by heavy machinery 3) generally conservative already
And #3 might be more of a critical mass thing than just a general shift, which you're right, is also true. But I would think that in more conservative areas, gas is just going to be one of those things that pushes someone over the edge as opposed to maybe a few % more likely to vote R than D.Last edited by dxmnkd316; 06-08-2022, 09:17 AM.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

I think that this will tip the scales right in Urban areas too (think purple areas). If you have a 30-60 minute commute everyday for work, you saw your fuel stops go from $30/week to $70+/week. That adds up. And like I mentioned, is noticeable to everyone....It's never too early to start the Pre-game festivities

Yeah, rural areas aren't impacted electorally because they already skewed heavily red.
It's the suburbs and exurbs full of upper middle class whites that gas prices and inflation will matter the most with.
Put into anecdotal context, I'm not shocked when the blue collar factory guys on my beer league team support Trump and bash the Dems at this point. But when the engineers and consultants and the like living in their Mcmansions join in, it's going to be a bad November.Comment

I play cards with a group of guys each week, and last week I commented about how it cost $75 to fill the tank of my wife's Chevy Impala, sort of in the range of what used to belong exclusively to pick up trucks and large SUV's. One of the other guys mentioned that he spent $35 to put gas in his Chevy Volt, which felt silly, since it's a hybrid. Finally, our buddy who is a commercial plumbing contractor said, "My truck has a 50 gallon tank." That ended the conversation.Originally posted by RaceBoarder View PostThat community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.Comment
