*IA Governor’s race ping*
The problem is he’s made donations to Democrats and liberal causes. To be sure, they are small, but they’re there none the less.
Much as I'd like to take your word for it, I'll need some additional information before I'm convinced. :-)
He made a small donation to someone that serves with him on some commission, correct? I haven’t seen all of his political contributions, you may well know more about it than I...
you can read some of his thoughts on www.hawkeyereview.com - he has some articles out there, topics such as Iowa's economic future and flood relief.
This should be a lesson to those who may want to some day run for office as a Republican. Don't donate to Democrats.
