Iowa's senior Republican, Senator Chuck Grassley, didn't get the talking points on how gay marriage is the end of the world for Iowa.
Now, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley has declined to take a stand on gay marriage in an interview with the Des Moines Register:
"You better ask me in a month, after I've had a chance to think," Grassley, the state's senior Republican official, said after a health care forum in Mason City.
Here's the story so far.
The Iowa Supreme Court issued this unanimous decision last Friday legalize gay marriage.
Then, Senate Leader Mike Gronstal-D stopped the constitutional amendment process in the Senate and made a statement seen by 80,000 on YouTube.
Today the Republican hardcore stormed the Capitol for the second time in 10 days. The first time was to be thrown out of a public hearing on the Democrats' plan for a middle class tax cut.
Now Grassley starts talking about civil unions, maybe, once he makes up his mind.
Grassley will be the top of the Republican ticket in Iowa in 2010. What does he know that Iowa social conservatives don't?
Iowa. Yes, we've turned blue.
