Nussle First Outta The Gate

Rep. Jim Nussle (R) goes up today in the Des Moines and Cedar Rapids markets with the first spot of the general election in what promises to be one of the most hotly contested GOV races in the country.

Trying to frame the debate on Des Moines instead of DC, Nussle gets a little help from a figure well-known, and well-liked, by older IA'ns -- 14-year Gov. Bob Ray (R).

Full script of "Ray" below:

NUSSLE: "In the on-going scandal in Des Moines, public officials abandoned the very people government is supposed to help and enriched themselves instead. Iowans deserve better. I'll demand the highest ethical standards and make sure taxpayer dollars are not wasted. And I'll create an independent Inspector General to stop fraud and corruption."
RAY: "Hi -- I'm Bob Ray. To know Jim Nussle is to like him. Jim has the vision and the experience to lead Iowa to greater heights."
