26. I think my friend could knock him out. He is less confident about it than I am.

He is currently Iowa state auditor, and just to get there, he knocked off a well-entrenched Republican incumbent.

His name is Rob Sand, and he is as home-grown as you can get. He is around 40, looks half that, and comes from a tiny town in a forgotten corner of the state. His big claim to fame is that he busted one of the most sophisticated lottery fraud rings in the whole country. His episode even got written up in the New York Times weekend magazine. He is twice as "authentic Iowan" as Joni Ernst, ten times as smart, and the camera loves him, where Grassley looks like a guy who auditioned for the lead in "the Mummy," but was rejected as being too scary and has a voice that is too authentic.
