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.
