The Real Sporer was back on the road tonight, this time attending the
Jasper County Central Committee meeting in Newton. The GOP looks alive
and well in our eastern neighbor. Jasper County has a very active
Republican Party and it was great to see their enthusiasm. The Jasper
County pachyderms appear very eager to get the battle joined. I also
had a chance to obtain some information about the Democrat who
represents HD 41, the legislative district that encompasses most of
Jasper County and all of the County seat in Newton. Now Paul Bell is
one of those good old boy Democrats that tells his blue-collar union
supporters back home that he is salt of the earth, just a regular guy,
not one of those left wing radicals from Iowa City or Des Moines. Then
he heads to the Golden Dome. Then this happens.
