Want to point out, we did ask Sen. Joni Ernst to sit down with us in our studios as well. They've talked about that, but so far her campaign has not been able to make that happen in our Waterloo studios. Nikki Newbrough joins us right now. Nikki, I don't want to sound like a whiner, but our interview request isn't the first that Sen. Ernst has not been able to make recently.

Newbrough: She declined to sit down with multiple Iowa newspapers, but just today she did do an interview with Fox News. She admits meeting with newspaper editorial boards would hurt her campaign. She claims some have already made up their minds.
