July 27th, 2009 4: 32 pm ET it takes an iowan to stand up to certain hate and ridicule and do what is right. that's where the politics is involved. liberals will take this one vote and never leave it alone. that's ok though. chuck won't mind. why? because he knows he did the right thing. senator grassley has a fantastic record, and has done great things for iowans. there HAD to be a better qualified nominee than ms. sotomayor.
