#BranstadDisasters - still hiding behind the IA Utility Board. When will he be accountable? #iagov

#BranstadDisasters - know who thinks Branstad's management is awful? Doug Gross. That has to hurt. #iagov #iptvdebate

Branstad slowing down, really getting tired now, I think he'll make the hour, but I dont know about a 90 minute debate #iagov

Branstad's own IEDA said the use of fertilizer will not increase and the price won't go down over the next 10 years - look it up. #iagov

We’ll see what the people of Lee County think of this deal in November. Keep attacking it, Jack! #iptvdebate #iagov

by TimAlbrechtIA via twitter 8/14/2014 9:53:36 PM
Hatch incredibly criticizing over 1750 new jobs in Lee county. Difficult to believe. #iagov

Jack Hatch wants to shut down the Iowa Fertilizer Plant. Plain and simple, and that’s a sad fact. #iptvdebate #iagov

Solid defense of Southeast Iowa and the jobs Branstad brought to this hard-hit area. #iptvdebate #iagov

by TimAlbrechtIA via twitter 8/14/2014 9:54:38 PM
Hatch still smoothly trying to explain to Branstad how he got taken on the fertilizer plant, Branstad doesnt get it. Sad, really. #iagov

by IowaHedge via twitter 8/14/2014 9:54:49 PM
Branstad: Gambling expansion is for the IRGC to decide. #iptvdebate

by IowaPress via twitter 8/14/2014 9:54:51 PM
Every soundbite of Branstad from this will be him yelling or interrupting, that’s one way to turn voters off. #iptvdebate #iagov

by SamRoecker via twitter 8/14/2014 9:54:53 PM
Hatch: Let market decide the winners and losers in casinos in Iowa. #iptvdebate

by IowaPress via twitter 8/14/2014 9:55:14 PM
Hatch believes the governor should have political interference in casino decisions. #NoIntegrity #iptvdebate #iagov

by TimAlbrechtIA via twitter 8/14/2014 9:55:21 PM
Brandstad in a rant takes a swipe at @JoeBolkcom #iptvdebate

by Tweitzel via twitter 8/14/2014 9:55:22 PM
Jack, get off my lawn! RT @TimAlbrechtIA : Jack Hatch says homeowners are the problem with water quality. Holy Moses. #iptvdebate #iagov

Has @TerryBranstad ever taken responsibility for anything? Blames Culver, feds, DAS staff, Dems #iptvdebate #iagov (1/2)

by ProgressIowa via twitter 8/14/2014 9:55:47 PM
How many businesses in SE IA could be hiring if Branstad hadn't given away the farm and broke the bank? #iagov

by Jack Hatch via twitter 8/14/2014 9:55:51 PM
Solid debate performance. This is probably the best I can remember. HUGE score today. Hatch missed his chance. #iptvdebate #iagov

by TimAlbrechtIA via twitter 8/14/2014 9:56:20 PM
Really great job @Senator_Hatch , you looked like a Governor today. #iowasfreshstart #iagov

by IowaHedge via twitter 8/14/2014 9:56:48 PM
I still cant get this, what was Branstad so worked up about? I thought he was up by a bunch of points and stuff. #iagov #iowasfreshstart

by IowaHedge via twitter 8/14/2014 10:02:12 PM
It wasn't even close-- first debate goes to Jack Hatch! #iagov

by Scott Brennan via twitter 8/14/2014 10:02:25 PM
.@Senator_Hatch Branstad's people have to be pretty worried after that anxious, worried mess of a performance their guy turned in. #iagov

by IowaHedge via twitter 8/14/2014 10:03:08 PM
Seeing several positive tweets about @Senator_Hatch very good to hear how well he did in the debate. #iagov #branstaddisasters

So yes, corn dog, pork chop on stick, ice cream, cherry coke, and a cup o cookies. All in about 2 hours. Emotional eating? #iagov
