Please, for the love of GOD will he stop those horrible ads now????
No doubt. No sense in throwing good money after bad. Maybe he can pocket whatever's left of it.
I doubt he would have won the primary and he probably knows it or he would have pursued this. Those ads were DUMB.
Gross's face seems to relax into a snarl. Not exactly Bob Ray material.
Woo Hoo!!! One less contender for Vander Plaats to beat.
“all-consuming” campaign would take too much time away from his family."
He is, however, considering a dilatory and somewhat half-as*ed campaign for an office yet to be named.
What's the status of that one conservative - former Marine, IIRC - Bill Salier, that took Ganske to the wire? (And would have beaten him had the White House butted out!)
Having said that, Iowa FReepers need to be aware that two Iowa Senate RINOs are co-sponsoring a gun ban introduced by Mike Connolly, a very vicious and partisan 'rat who did a lot to help defeat Republican Gene Manternach via a very ugly and lie-filled campaign last year.
Put some pressure on, folks.
Gun ban ? What's this all about ?
If they have the Iowa news topic in their FR sidebar, they should already know. One of those RINO women was my senator prior to redrawing the districts.
Thanks.
I believe Salier is planning to run again.
fyi...
Bill Salier is one of the greatest guys around.
We need him in office.
Where is he from ?
He's from Nora Springs, Iowa...a small town just east of Mason City, in the north central part of the state.
He's a farmer, and a Marine. Served on the Camp David detail, which is reserved for the best of the best.
Cutting edge conservative. Christian. Charismatic.
As I said: A great guy, and an awesome candidate.
The establishment took him out in favor of doing what they have done for the last thirty years: unsuccessfully running a Congressman, in most cases a RINO, against the cleverly evil Commie, Tom Harkin.
Harkin will never go down until he is challenged by a real conservative. Unlike Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, who is regularly reelected with over 70% of the vote, Harkin squeaks out his wins with barely over half the votes.
The Iowa GOP needs to wake up.
You are absolutely correct. I met Salier through a friend who worked on his campaign, Salier is a great guy.
As I've said on other threads, I'm moving away from Iowa to IL in the fall. I sure would have liked to stick around and help Harkin go the way of Daschle.
When is Harkin up and who is likely to run for his seat from the GOP side ?
