It has her up in a bunch of swing states, but by incredibly slim margins (FL is a little healthier). I am inclined to go with Ty that it's pretty meaningless, but I suppose the markets are hungry for data so will go with whatever's out there.

Look! She's playing in Iowa City on Thursday! And Minneapolis on the 16th! Flower, get your tickets now.

She'll definitely play "Iowa (Traveling III)" since it's the 20th anniversary of the "Mortal City" album, which also means that she will play perhaps my favorite song of hers, Southern California Wants to be Western New York (spree, yup, music)

Right now I'm swearing at Sebby & Hank.
