Iowa Democratic Senate nominee Bruce Braley -- perhaps best known for demeaning farmers at out-of-state fundraisers with fellow trial lawyers, whining

All of which is to say that this clip from 2007 may not be particularly helpful to Bruce Braley's campaign:
Republicans should think twice before overplaying this hand, as many Iowans retain fond memories of the 2008 campaign, when their state catapulted Obama from longshot to contender status. But as the polling nuggets above demonstrate, most of those same voters have long since lost that loving feeling to one degree or another. Bruce Braley would be a lockstep vote for Harry Reid on behalf of Barack Obama's agenda. The ineffectual, liberal president would love to have a "new best friend" in the Senate. Iowans will decide whether to give Obama what he wants, or to try something new.
