I’m a Democrat and a realist. The odds of any Democrat beating Chuck Grassley are 10:1 at best.
I have a special affinity for Roxanne Conlin – one of the nation’s first US attorneys and the first woman to be nominated to run for governor of Iowa in 1982. She lost, largely due to a bogus issue… her farming husband lost money and didn’t pay income tax. Never mind that many farmers lost money in 1982 and didn’t pay income tax.
This ad is excellent:
If Chuck had seriously negotiated on healthcare and worked for a compromise I’d have probably supported him in 2010. Instead he got spooked by the tea-baggers at his town hall meetings in August and chose to quit. So I’ll support whichever Don Quixote my party nominates next June.
Who knows? Maybe she’ll knock this Grassley windmill over.
Grassley is retiring? Hmmm Maybe there IS a god. Now if Steve King would only do the same....or worse!
ReplyDeleteA correction to this post is in order with respect to the occupation of Conlin's husband. He is NOT a farmer, as indicated, but a very wealthy real estate developer and landlord (Conlin Properties).
