As Waverly goes, so goes the 2nd?
Given the increasing number of polls showing voters are noodling on the idea of taking "it" out on Republican incumbents, one wonders whether there's pressure on the DFL in the 2nd District where Coleen Rowley is taking on incumbent John Kline. Rowley has not done well in fundraising and her message, thusfar, has focused on her expertise -- the September 11th terrorist attacks. And some DFLers are frustrated with the status of the race, to the point that state Sen. Sharon Marko is rumored to be ready to jump in against Kline.
On Wednesday, Rowley was speaking in ... Waverly, Iowa, telling 50 who gathered at a dinner at Wartburg College (she's a '77 grad), "radical Republicans have hijacked the party, and the 2006 election is the time to stop their efforts."
