Culver Needs Your Help in Poll, IA Press Puts Dems on Air, and John Kerry Decides to Pony Up (After Much Name Calling).

By Sam Garchik

First off, the Muscatine Journal is sponsoring a gubernatorial poll. Go to their home page, scroll to the bottom, and vote for Culver.

Next, Rapid Response won another round. According to the folks at IPTV:

Rep. Jim Leach (R-Iowa City) and Dave Loebsack (D-Mount Vernon) will be on Iowa Press on Friday, October 27 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, October 29 at 11:30 a.m. In addition, Dave Loebsack is set to appear on the program Campaign 2006 with Mike Glover on Friday, November 3, at 6:30 p.m. Joyce Schulte, a Democrat in the 5th U.S. District and Dr. Seldon Spencer, a Democrat in the 4th U.S. District will also be featured.

So that’s good too.

Finally, John Kerry has been in the center of a nasty storm. As you know, this blog has recently pressured him to give more money to Democrats in tough races. This push was run out of HeyJohn.org, and the blogosphere has been abuzz with news about this.

Earlier in the week, Wonkette engaged in some serious name calling, and claimed to know who pulled the plug on HeyJohn(It’s not up anymore).

DailyKos also covered the issue. Both Kos and Wonkette detailed on who could be giving money to the DCCC or other candidates, but isn’t.

And all this had a big effect. Apparently, Kerry is giving $500,000 (He actually decided to do it after he decided against it!).
