Howard Dean: I may add IA to the list of states we can pick up a Senate seat - Grassley is terrified

[progressoid]

I may add Iowa to the list of states we can pick up a Senate seat in. Grassley is clearly terrified about running against a career Military guy who won a tough primary. That means he has internal polls that show he can lose. Franken appears to be an excellent candidate for Iowa.

1. Oh that would make me happy!

Grassley needs to be retired!

2. Afraid his part of the coup might get become public

I have been transplanted to IA and hope his part in the coup comes out. I don't think it will switch votes, but it may get some to stay at home and not vote.

Better yet, DOJ cuffs and stuffs these traitorous bastards...the whole coup caucus in both the house and Senate. Grassley might still win in Iowa even if indicted, but I will hope and help to boot him out of office

3. He clearly knew something was going on

He announced that pence might not be there on the 6th.

4. I like the sound of that!

5. Sounds great, coming from H. Dean!

6. Not only is Grassley too old, but he is a coup plotter.

9. Let's say Chuck Grassley is not very appealing

For starters he looks like an old wrinkled bullfrog, but as an old coot he doesn't have much appeal to the youth vote. Who under 30 would say "I like that Grassley guy".? And why would they?

His time has come and gone. If the GOP was smart they'd retire him and run some new blood.

10. Grassley has some explaining to do as well....

He could be also be nervous as he may of agreed to take over for Pence pre-1/6 to contest the Electoral College votes...If this comes out....it may help people of Iowa see the real character Grassley really is....

11. It will be interesting to see if there are any debates

Franken vs. Grassley. I hope Grassley's part in the coup gets brought up, in debate or in ads.

My late MIL knew Grassley when he was a snot-nosed kid riding the same school bus. She said he had an unpleasant, know-it-all personality even then.

12. What? They had school buses in Iowa 100 years ago?

[progressoid]

14. That doesn't surprise me.

edited to add...yeah, I wonder if he will even debate. I know he likes to hear his own voice but he's not doing so well lately. He's been falling apart at the few town halls he has done.
