Title: anyone heard the rumor that Tom Harkin
Post by: freepcrusher on May 23, 2012, 12:51:15 PM
lives most of his downtime in the Bahamas and only comes back to Iowa for major events? It seems the republicans have never quite made the case against him.

Not really hard to believe given Iowa's split (the liberal East, the conservative West, the centrist (maybe very slight D lean).

Hopefully Iowans will have forgotten about this comment in 2014.

How exactly is this comment insulting or controversial for Iowans?

And in any case from what I understand Harkin will retire in 2014 and Braley will run for his seat.
