On Monday several sources told me GOP GOTV efforts in the first and third congressional districts in Iowa were being diverted to the second to "save" Leach. No one would confirm this on the record, but it should have been the case. Republicans should have known Leach was in trouble. ... Now, on to Governor-Elect Chet Culver. I don't know if any of you downloaded the MP3 of the speech Culver gave in Johnson County in early October that was posted on the "Campaign Countdown" section of RadioIowa.com, but it was a definite contrast with the speech posted there from GOP candidate Jim Nussle.
