If I hadn't met Rob myself, I wouldn't have had the faintest idea who he is, or why his race was in the slightest important. After all, what should a Texan living in Germany care about who becomes state auditor of Iowa, right? But it's men and women like Rob who will be the future base and nourishing ground for our party's next generation of leaders. After all, 15 years ago, there was a well-spoken young guy in the Illinois state legislature that wasn't on anyone's radar yet, either. Now, he's already a highly respected ex-president.

Mosiman wants to keep her job and is trying to make Rob look unqualified DFW Oct 2018 #28

There has been a Republican in this job since 1967 oberliner Oct 2018 #30

Maybe no Democrat has actively sought the post since 1967 with any serious effort DFW Oct 2018 #38

One party control since 1967 seems like a great campaign point to make to voters that an OhioBlue Oct 2018 #41

It's not a strong argument to make on its own DFW Oct 2018 #42

Good points. The way I see it, 50 years of Republican control in the Accountability office OhioBlue Oct 2018 #53
