From a Texan living in Germany: please don't forget my friend, Rob Sand on Tuesday

[DFW]

Though I've never even set foot in Iowa, a friend of mine, Rob Sand, is running for State Auditor in Iowa. State Auditor in Iowa is a far bigger deal than it is in many other states, especially less rural ones. Plus: Rob, if successful (or even if not) is a perfect candidate for Congress or Governor down the line (look out, Joni Ernst). He's only in his mid-thirties (looks half that), and is the perfect midwestern Democrat. Down to earth, straightforward, and wants to do good things for his people and his state. I put him in touch with the Dean brothers (Jim and Howard), so he will have some national allies in his political career. If you can, please remember to vote for Rob (and if you already voted, I hope you did!).
