My memory may fail me, but I think Mrs. Harkin had something like $500,000 of the Conoco shares.

Harkin comes back to Iowa during campaigns and touts his Iowan roots. However, the truth is that he and his lobbyist wife live in a mansion in the Bahamas. Believe me, he NEVER talks about his radical support of abortion or his butt-kissin' support of the Clintonistas during impeachment! Most Iowans are clueless about national politics. He has scammed Iowans for years with his act. Sadly, the elderly here buy it cuz he spreads the "Republicans want to steal your S.S./Medicare" lie and because the teacher's unions here are so powerful.

The whole thing is really pathetic. I pray for a Ganske victory.

Fair criticism of Harkin, but in the interests of truth, his "mansion" in the Bahamas is a nice beach house, no mansion, albeit on very prime real estate.
