The card board Ron Blum looks a lot more life-like than Ron Blum does himself! More personality. marble falls Aug 2018 #4

470 days since his last public town hall? Holy crap! Wonder if that's a record.

David Young hasn't had one of his little coffees since February (and is hiding from Axne's requests for debates).
Don't know what's up with King and I don't really want to wade into his sewer to find out either.

He just announces he's running and goes home to sit on the porch and spew racist crap.

May be different this year - looks like JD Scholten is nearly even with him. So King may have to get off his dead ass and pretend to care.
I am really thinking Scholten could pull off one of the biggest surprises ever.

I'm hoping the enthusiasm for him and the bad news for the GOP continues until Nov 6!

Speaking of the GOP, have any of our elected officials made any statements about the arrests and convictions in their party? I'm going to going to guess they will avoid this for as long as possible.

I think I'll contact the Ernst, Grassley and Young offices tomorrow just to see what's up.
