Tooth And Tongue

To listen to the Multi-Millionaire trial lawyer, you'd believe the only reason she's not going to beat Chuck Grassley is because of money.

Conlin says her campaign is hurt by an inability to raise enough money

Rozanne, err Taxanne Conlin told the Ragister she expects to spend about $3 million, of which at least $500,000 of that is her money.

Apparently it has nothing to do with Conlin's wacky ideas, such as the $5,000 tax deferral that allows you to spend the money you owe the federal government anyway you please and pay it back over five years.

Even the women at the Ragister weren't buying that one.

Is Conlin's lack of money why only 20 people turned out to hear her speak, this week, at the Greater Des Moines Partnership?

In that speech Conlin spoke of spending $813 million as a "relatively modest" amount.

Is she sure? Conlin's admitted before that "I get my millions and my billions mixed up".

Conlin also told the Ragister, she thinks she has more support among Iowans in general than Grassley.

Really?

Seriously?

“We know for sure the votes are there,” Conlin said. “We know there are enough people who would vote for me that I could win. It is a matter of whether or not we can inspire them to get out and vote.”

Inspiring people doesn't have anything to do with money and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Conlin related how her volunteers have made 350,000 telephone calls -- “Not talking about robocalls,” she said, with a laugh. “That would probably go into the millions. Maybe even the billions.”

There she goes again!

The title of this post comes from Conlin's latest TV commercial.

In previous commercials Conlin likes to relate how "Washington-is-broken".

I agree, but with 160 in the House of Representatives and 58 in the Senate, it's because of too many lawyers!
