GOP Senate Candidate Uses Campaign Ad To Aim At President Obama... With A Gun

Iowa State Sen. Joni Ernst, who is trying to grab the GOP nomination for Iowa’s open US Senate seat, released a new TV ad this week in the hopes of grabbing some mainstream attention. Ernst’s previous ad went viral due to her stating that she used to castrate hogs and that she’d “make ‘em squeal” in Washington when elected. Since then, Ernst has become a Tea Party darling in this race and received an endorsement from none other than one Sarah Palin. Her new ad is an attempt to up the ante by showing her shoot a pistol at a target while a narrator says she is taking aim at Obamacare and that she never misses.

Iowa is desperately tying to be the 'Northern Texas'. Pitiful.

just some nuts who eat up the publicity are vying for their 15 minutes of fame.

She sounds like she was coached by Steve King. They could both leave the state and improve the average intelligence.

No doubt these ads will help her with the Tea Party crowd, but I suspect your average Iowan is unlikely to be persuaded by this kind of aggressive campaigning. If she wins the nomination, these ads will actually hurt her in the general election.
