I hope he gets the chance. He's everything that "Iowa Nice" used to be.

If he is our guy, I expect we will see tons of dirty money flowing into the state to oppose him regardless of who their candidate is. I talked to a Dem Rep, Josh Turek a while ago. He said that the GOP, Americans for Prosperity (Koch funded) and others spent hundreds of thousands to try to beat him. It didn't work. I think the GOP fears people like Turek and Rob Sand as a threat to their odious agenda and will pay a lot to try to defeat them.
