What I Missed While on Ragbrai

By Sam Garchik

I missed Mohammed's run for governor, the GOP SoS candidate quitting, and a fight at the Register about whether or not Ragbrai is news. However, I got back around the same time as Nussle and Flow, which is covering Nussle's Ragbrai ride in the same fair and balanced manner we have come to expect from this site. He's on Day 2 today, so stay tuned as Jimmy's ride across Iowa gets the honest coverage it deserves.

Meanwhile, John Edwards' Pac is having another one of those on-line vote things. Candidates Braley and Boswell are featured, and more info on them and the rest of the candidates can be found here.  Make sure to vote for them. They need all the help they can get.

Finally, Chris Woods points out the political soapbox schedule at the state fair. Let's hope no one gets the “Art Small can speak, but only during the big veteran's day parade and only if he stands next to the army band,” treatment.
