Iowa Democrats
Chet Culver: Gov, Ranking: 5, His Predecessor would be a better choice.
Tom Vilsack: Former Gov, Ranking:6, Popular former two term Governor would tie up Iowa and may help a little in surrounding states.
Tom Harkin: Sen, Ranking: 6, Being a veterin Senator from a swing state makes him worth listing.
Bruce Braley: Rep IA-1, Ranking: 3, No way Obama picks a Freshman Congressman.
David Loebsack: Rep IA-2, Ranking: 3, Another Freshman.
Leonard Boswell: Rep IA-3, Ranking: 4, Age (74) pushes the limit.
Iowa Republicans
Jim Nussle, Former Rep, Ranking: 6, Served 16 years in Congress, but is only 47. Loss his bid for governor two years ago, by a fairly large margin, but may still help in Iowa. Now serves as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Terry Branstad: Former Gov, Ranking: 5, As a four term governor of Iowa one would think he would give McCain a boost in the state.
Chuck Grassley: Sen, Ranking: 3, His age (74) takes him out of the running.
Jim Leach: Former Rep, Ranking: 4, Served 30 years in Congress, but anti-war stance could conflict with McCain.
Tom Latham: Rep IA-4, Ranking: 5, Part of the 1994 Republican Revolution. A decent choice if McCain is intent on holding Iowa.
Steve King: Rep IA-5, Ranking: 5, Strong conservative from a swing state, but has only served since 2003.
