how can it be that is indeed of aqaba can do this? people from iowa are very open- minded. if you are a hardworking political leader and to do not take extreme positions, you have to get respect from your review. >> guns, immigration, federal debt/deficit, which of those three issues will be paramount in that senate campaign? economy improves, it will be the economy. if it is beyond the economy, i think health care might be an issue. whatever democrat runs probably voted for it. whatever republican runs and did not vote for it. i do not think that will be a big issue unless there is a lot of administrative action taken by this president that is going to turn gun owners off. then the president could raise it to a big campaign issue. i do not think any action by congress will raise it to a big campaign issue. >> i want to ask the questions about immigration reform. a group of eight senators are trying to draft legislation and take the lead on this issue. were you asked to be in the group? what i was not. i suppose i could have volunteered. as ranking member, art dealer leadin
