  • Get ready for some Straight Talk, Iowa style. Supporters of Sen. John McCain have a new Iowa blog. We're not sure who's behind the blog and don't know whether they have official McCain connections. STIS joins Iowans for Romney, which is run by Romney PAC adviser Jeff Fuller. (Fuller started his blog before being asked to join
    the Advisory Board and claims his blog is
    independent.) Let the back and forth begin.

  • Nine potential presidential candidates have IA plans in August.

  • Prof. Dante Scala notices the Democratic presidential courtship of state senate candidates and incumbnets in NH.

  • State Sen. Tommy Moore (D-SC) has a new gubernatorial campaign manager, 38-year-old Chris Carpenter.

    Jeff Fuller here.

    Just to clear the air.

    I am a physician who has a full time job. I blog in my spare time and am not a paid political consulant. I started my blog for personal reasons and that was asked to be added to The Commonwealth PACs "Iowa Advisory Committee" as a result of my grassroots work. I have never been to a meeting with PAC people nor collaborated about blogging in any way.

    There is a disclaimer to this effect at my blogsite
