Living in Iowa, I'm also getting a little tired of the candidates pandering to us Iowans regarding ethanol and renewable fuels. These are fine but not unless they can stand on their own merits and not be subsidized. It's still not sufficient and we must produce our own gasoline and build new refineries.

I hope CGG. . .that all Iowan's share your feelings re the ad nauseum pandering.

Hope as well; that Mitt - though it may be too much to expect - comes out with a two-by-four; if only rhetorically, to use on any and all, mind-numbed citizens; and for sure, that means ALL Democrats. . .

That said, kudos to you, CGG, for being there. . .and sharing your opinion, where it counts or certainly, 'should count'. . .

It's almost embarassing considering all the access we have to candidates and their staffs. I have friends on almost all the campaigns. I've signed on with no one. I'll make up my mind by Aug 11--the day of the straw poll.

They're all willing to pick us up by bus, feed us, entertain us and pay for our tickets.

My favorite candidate (for one night) was Huckabee. He brought Paul Shanklin to town with him. We even got free Shanklin CDs. Now if Paul Shanklin were running, he'd be my man. Just kidding:)
