From the National Journal's Hotline On Call

THe Futures Market: Iowa

Some GOP sources suggest that '06 may be tough for the party. Dems are excited by the prospects afforded to them by the nat'l landscape and seem poised to re-take the state legislature, where they currently face a tied Sen and a 2-seat deficit in the House. Re-taking the legislature would create a new crop of rising stars for Dems, but each party has its share of 20-somethings who we may be following in 5, 10 or 15 years.

1. What about that Seth character?

I hear he is the next big thing!

Lol...in all reality I am impressed with our young crop of Democrats. Let's just hope they stay involved and are able to take us to the next level.

2. Too many skeletons and unanswered questions

What about that goat in a red bikini???? x(

3. It was a one-piece...sheesh. n/t

[Debi]

4. And now your campaign is no longer about the issues...it's about a goat

Just like that your political career is in tatters :cry: Poor Seth - you were such an up-and-commer!

5. Lol, and thats why I am just a big mouth on the internet. n/t

6. But will you represent all of us fat bald guys?

If so, we'll overlook the goat in a bathing suit and, ah...well... maybe not. But yes, there are some fine younger people who should make a dent both here and nationally for the next several years. One young lady to look for in the coming years is Elesha Gayman, 28, who is running for the Iowa House in District 83, I believe. I have met her and she is a lady of strong convictions who is a champion of the "common man".

7. As the years pass by...

I can think of no one better to represent us, the bald fat men.

(shaved head and a growing belly anyway)

8. I don't know, Bluzemann, even if Seth is right on ALL the issues

how do we get past the baaaaabe in the red dress incident?

Have heard such good things about Elesha Gayman, REALLY hope she takes that seat!
