| Blog Under the Golden Dome noticed that Ringgenberg spelled "Council Bluffs" wrong on his website. It was corrected the next morning, but when UTGD noted the correction, it noticed that "Gronstal" was misspelled too. By 4:07 that afternoon, Gronstal's name was also corrected. Ringgenberg evidently outsources unpaid proofreading to the little people. |

The GOP is also putting up an imperfect candidate. Al Ringgenberg is a
retired JAG prosecutor in the Air Force who likes to go by “Colonel Al.”
Prominent Democratic insiders variously described Ringgenberg as “a
goofball” and “pretty goofy.” He has also posted weak fundraising
numbers: His campaign committee, “Patriots for Colonel Al,” had less
than $7,000 on hand according to its most recent report. When I talked
to Ringgenberg, he felt confident that he’d have the money he needed.
Colonel Al was about to mention what he thought his campaign’s budget
would roughly be, but then he backed off, saying that he was going to
use “Sun Tzu military tactics, not going to give it away.” Instead, he
merely noted it would be both “realistic” and “sizable.” Ringgenberg did
note later that he thought it would be a “conservative wave” during
which he could be outspent by a margin of 7- or 8-to-1 and still
prevail.
