6. He was 19 when he wrote an editorial in his paper a couple of years ago....

I thought.

Anyways, he said the State Senate will not even bring this to the floor for a vote,
and that is the only way that it can become law....
Hope he's right on this.

7. He is currently 19 according to the show.

Two years shy of being old enough to run for office.

10. All I know is what they reported on tv.

I am not particularly interested in the state laws of Iowa.

8. Well, whatever--it seems the repeal process is fairly complex and the upside is that

the longer Iowans have equal rights the harder it will be to trash them. That is, it seems, a good thing.
Every day that goes by, a few people will realize it's not the end of the (or even their) world. :-)
