I'd like to hear one national Harkin Steak Fry story mention the 2014 election

and the shit storm we will be in if Braley doesn't beat the Glen Beck, Alex Jones, Tea Party, Harpy, Joni Ernst and the Guardians Of Privilege win the senate.


I can understand Tom Harkin wanting to step down from the senate but I hope he never is too far away from a microphone. That man can give a speech that touches people like few others can.

Sen. Harkin introduced the four democratic congressional candidates, Braley, and I think the gubernatorial candidate? ( Not sure about that last one.)

Unfortunately, Hillary and Bill sucked all the oxygen out of the event like they always do.

It seems so obvious, their self-love that's created a fan base can't see that they are preventing us from truly having the choices we deserve to have.

I wish they'd go the hell away.

Not as long as there is money to accumulate! LOL

I will vote for our nominee, even if it is Hillary. However, I think other potential candidates are reluctant to challenge them, for now. It is early of course and there are some signals or rumors about Biden, O'Malley and Sanders. I would very much like to see all three of them challenge her. I want to see the issues hashed out and think no one is "inevitable".
