VICE ADMIRAL FRANKEN (RET) IS A FORMER MEMBER OF THE U.S. NAVY. USE OF HIS MILITARY RANK, JOB TITLES, AND PHOTOGRAPHS IN UNIFORM DOES NOT IMPLY ENDORSEMENT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

1. Hope the DNC does not ignore this one. It's doable.

2. Grassley has got to go! K&R

3. I think the last poll I saw was Grassley up by 8

I'd love to see him go, and I hope our candidate over performs.
But I'm afraid in the end, it'll be like McConnell's race in Kentucky. He's always vulnerable until election day.
Well established political machines are tough to beat.

4. This a-hole will be 89 in September.

Ridiculous he's still in power.

Same age as Feinstein, who also should not be in the Senate, especially because that's a safe seat that could and should go to a young progressive.

5. Can Grassley live long enough for another term?

[FBaggins]

8. Doesn't much matter

He almost certainly doesn't intend to serve another term. He'll probably retire shortly after the new year begins - allowing the governor to pick a replacement who will then have two years of incumbency to lock down the seat.

7. Grassley is still searching for the owner of the dead "pidgin" in his yard.
