Keep up to date on the regional politics of Eastern Iowa -. Tuesday, October 03, 2006. Whalen Still Dogged by NCPA Ethanol Stance. Today's Quad Cities Times. Has an article about a new Democrat ad on the air that questions Whalen's credibility on ethanol.

Keep up to date on the regional politics of Eastern Iowa -. Tuesday, June 27, 2006. Rove met with protesters. At yesterday's exlusive $250 per plate Republican luncheon fundraiser for Mike Whalen, Bush strategist Karl Rove was greeted by a small group of protesters. The picture above was taken by the Courier, and made the front page of the Times as well. This QC Times article. Reportedly, signs read:. Rove fiddles while working families burn. Health care is a right, not a privilege. Again, I find it inte...

The Inside Dope: February 2005
http://theinsidedope.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
February 28, 2005. Late last night in a darkened parking garage, an alert Dopester gave The Dope a scoop concerning Mike Whalen's announcement of his candidacy today. (OK, it wasn't in a garage, it was in a comment on the blog, but it WAS late.) He strongly urged The Dope to attend. Though he mentioned it was in Davenport, he wasn't able to provide a location for this event. And no time either. This might make it a little tough for people to attend. Whalen's candidacy will be worth keeping an eye on.

Keep up to date on the regional politics of Eastern Iowa -. Thursday, March 30, 2006. Braley 10, Dickinson 1. A week or so ago there was a flap in the Quad Cities Times when Rick Dickinson brought up a case his trial lawyer opponent took over a decade ago in which Braley represented a woman suing a labor union. Dickinson used this as a way to try to discredit Braley with the unions. Posted by Scoop Iowa at 7:08 PM. Links to this post. Old Glory has been desecrated in Texas. As well as many other places.

Keep up to date on the regional politics of Eastern Iowa -. Thursday, August 31, 2006. Whalen Now Wants to Raise the Minimum Wage Too. Well it looks like I was wrong in my post below regarding Whalen's stance on the minimum wage. See I remembered him saying previously in no confusing terms that he opposes an increase in the minimum wage. Now, however, he has changed his mind, apparently because he thinks it's going to happen despite his objections, so he might as well jump on the bandwagon. Democratic ca...

In a poll conducted by RT Strategies, surveying 1014 individuals, Braley came out ahead of Whalen by 13 points.54 to 41. Though I haven't had time to check them out, the Braley campaign makes available the full results and crosstabs as well. It has t...
