Some recent polls of Ohio and Iowa have blown my mind!

A recent Monmouth poll put Clinton back in front in Ohio, so I hope similar good news happens in Iowa too! (Most importantly winning in November, of course!)

this cycle.

And while I realize it's an uphill climb, it would be great also if voters there tossed Grassley overboard. I just flat-out would not miss Chuck Grassley one iota. I just wouldn't.
