Overall it's a valuable & informative post. But G. you're completely misusing the word "belied"to the point where 1 key sentence is very confusing. It means pretty much the opposite of how you're using it--to belie something is to undermine or contradict it. Boswell's broad range of contributors DERIVE from "the fact that he is a Democratic congressman in a swing district who has a lot of seniority on a major committee", they're certainly not belied by them.

The next thing "you liberals" will be wanting to do is overturn Right to Work! :-) Folks, this emphasis on proper grammar has gone to the extreme.

And why isn't there any mention of his support on his website? Is he ashamed to admit it to the people of Iowa? The VP has 10 months left in office. Having impeachment hearings and a trial is like trying to fire someone a week before they retire. It would cost millions to run an impeachment and it would waste Congress's time. People like Moveon.org and Congressman Boswell are bitter, nasty haters who do not care about this country. All they care about is political payback and dirty politics.
