IT'S THE COST OF LIVING, STUPID

The Owl does not like paraphrasing Democrats, especially hateful, hideous creatures like James Carville.  Judging from the commercials unceasingly interrupting the Owl's viewing preferences it appears cost of living is 2026's proverbial "THE ISSUE".

This map is our commercial.

This is our candidate speaking:

Every Democrat/Socialist state has a higher cost of living than Iowa.  Voting Democrat/Socialist will make Iowa less affordable.  Voting Democrat/Socialist increases the cost of living.  California is nearly 60% more expensive than Iowa.  New York is 40% more expensive than Iowa.  Even Illinois is 5.6% more expensive.  That's nearly twice the national inflation rate.  That's Biden like inflation in a state just across the Mississippi, but a state run by Democrat/Socialists.  Iowa is already the  3rd most affordable state in the entire United States.  Can Iowans afford to double our state's inflation and pay more for gas, food, medicine, more for everything?  

Every candidate can say those 106 words in under 30 seconds, speaking emotively.  Let's just get to the point and stop talking about missed votes.
