13. I hope Franken wins

The trouble is that I have are memories from phone banking an election or two ago. The Iowans asked us Texas Dems to help and I was one of the phone bankers. What I discovered was that the Iowans I talked to thought of themselves as Democrats, but they liked Grassley too much to vote against him, even though he supported policies that were bad for them.

You can guess the result: Grassley was re-elected.

I hope Iowa voters get over that sort of thinking. You can still like a guy personally, but you aren’t obliged to keep him in office.
