Is That All There Is?

The latest Staci Appel-sauce for brains e-mail was signed by Ann Montgomery, Mom and Appel Women for Change Member.

Ann said, "the latest poll has Staci in a great position to win next year."

Which poll is that Ann?

The October poll from the liberal-leaning Public Policy Polling and paid for by MoveOn.org?

That poll had Congressman Latham trailing a generic Democrat, 49 - 42, not the Dummycrat Staci Appel.

Political analyst David Wasserman of the Cook Political Report notes that his organization continues to rate the district as “likely Republican” for next year.

“At the moment we don’t see it as a competitive race.”

Wasserman said there is little evidence that Appel could draw more votes than Rep. Leonard Boswell, D-Iowa, did in his loss last year to Latham despite solid name recognition and a long-time bloc of supporters.

“If the election were held next week, Latham would win by a mile,” Wasserman said of Appel’s chances.
 
Montgomery also mentioned, ""New York Magazine had a great article about moms in Congress, which mentioned Staci and our strong campaign."

They then included a link to the "great article" about the "strong campaign".

In Iowa, former State Senator Staci Appel, a mother of six famous for campaigning pregnant, will make a run for the House.

WOW!

Let me type that again backwards.

WOW!

Completely underwhelming and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Also, the New York Magazine needs to look up the meaning of the word "famous".
