that's the oddest pair of senators I can recall.. How about Rod Grams and Paul Wellstone, back when they were both senators in Minnesota?

This is very true, and I live in Iowa. Iowa has many sort of moderate-conservatives and also a strong, old-timey farmer-labor tradition, as well. A candidate who gets a real committment from either side of the spectrum can do well in Iowa. Also, I have noticed for years that Iowans simply LOVE incumbents. If you manage to win once, and you take care of the home folks when they call your office with their problems, you often can hang on for a long, long time.
