From The Campaign Trail

Branstad is doin' his dance with Bob VanderPlaats and there's another group that wants Rod Roberts on the bottom of his ticket at Lt. Governor. I wouldn't mind Roberts on the ticket- in fact, I think that'd be a smart choice, because he seems to be the perfect bridge between the fiscal and social conservatives in the Iowa GOP. But VanderPlaats? Meh... I'd really like not to hear about him ever again, but I'm not really a Republican, so my opinion doesn't really count.
