I also point to Branstad as the one who put it together in Iowa. I think he has had a very good pate with Americans for Prosperity (Koch Brothers) and their head man in Iowa, Drew Klein. I refer to Klein as Branstad's minder. I think he is now Reynolds minder.


If it ever seems like Reynolds has no idea what she is doing (most of the time) she is just waiting for orders from Klein.

Oddly, credit for Iowa's recovery from the near Great Depression brought to his by Bushco is given to Brannstad and not Obama who should get credit. Culver should have been credited with keeping the state from cratering as badly as it could have.
