This lady knows how to grab your... attention. Sounds like a typical "moderate" but I haven't looked into her that much so I can't say for sure.

How does she feel about farm subsidies?  ;)

She is endorsed by Mitt Romney.  You sure?

Like I said, I don't know anything about her and she could be the most severely conservative candidate around.

Yeah pretty much lines up as a conservative play by play on her issues page.

There is about dozen GOP candidates trying to win the primary, 5 are some what credible, so far none of them appear to be too deep in the religious right's Kool-Aid and potentially have a chance of getting some democrat votes.

There is just one Democrat http://www.brucebraley.com/

This is for the open Senate seat due to Tom Harkin retiring.

Iowa is neither a Red nor a Blue State, most people are usually fiscally conservative and socially I don't give a crap.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I doubt that is going to be the Democrat running for much longer:

Braley suffers from Bidenism Disease, but there are enough Democrat voters and really scary Republican candidates to keep him in office.
