OP
This race seems to be flying under the national radar, but looks to me like a possible upset.

People like him.. As someone who had spent 40 plus years in that same area before I moved to the blueberry in the tomato soup.. he has chops in the rural area..

It looks like Admiral Franken is just plugging away and depending on Iowa and Iowans to make this work.
And it sure looks like Grassley is running scared. He's trying to smear Admiral Franken by saying he hates Iowa and things like that.

(2,870 posts)5. Former Senator Al Franken is
running ads endorsing Adm Mike Franken. But other than that he's not getting much national attention. Not sure why??

(577 posts)6. I think the national Democratics are writing this off
As a sure thing for Grassley. We shall see.
BTW, I called Grassley office and asked if the election results aren't in his favor, will he accept the results? Still waiting for an answer.
