Holy damn shit (from dKos):

This is actually the cleverest thing I've seen in a month of Sundays.

She doesn't mention Senator Chuck Grassley directly, but she outlines the case she will make against him. Career politicians in Washington have lost their independence. Iowans were left behind when banks got bailed out and their top executives got huge bonuses. Grassley voted for the Wall Street bailout, which Conlin mentions twice in this video. No doubt we'll hear more in the coming months about Grassley's ties to various special interests and his votes for tax breaks companies use when they ship jobs overseas.

Hopefully Coglin can take Grassley's TARP vote and shove it up his ass.  Grassley is at 51% approval, been running to the Right, and Iowans don't like ideologues.  If Coglin runs a smart and savvy campaign she's got a chance.

I hope so, just to see Grassley go would be nice. But Darcy Burner in WA-8 was as good a candidate as you could get and she still lost.

This is an intriguing entry.  She's quite popular in Iowa, as I understand it, and I can't fathom Grassley remaining terribly popular.  Gonna need races like this if guys like Chris Dodd can't pull it up.
