I’ve been pretty sure ever since I heard Reed speak at The district Two Convention that I was going to vote for him. I had a gut feeling he was the one, and I have found nothing in all my research to dissuade me. I was going to write something but found a piece in The Coralville Courier, which has endorsed him. I couldn’t say it any better or more succinctly:

The Coralville Courier Endorses Reed for U.S. Senate
In watching the latter half of the GOP Primary Senate debate last night on IPTV, it was obvious – George Eichhorn is a politician, and Chrisopher Reed is not. If Steve Rathje had bothered to show up, there would be a comment about him as well.
Eichhorn gave answers a politician gives, Reed did not. That’s a slam on career politician mentality, not on Reed’s intellect. Both men are capable, but if you were to put a wager on who would best represent the interests of Iowans, put your money and your vote on Reed.
That’s what’s appealing in this primary race, Iowans have a chance to send new blood to Washington, as our founding fathers intended. Career politicians are exactly what’s wrong with Washington, they no longer listen to people and sadly they’re out of touch. We need more farmers and common sense in Washington, not more lawyers and legalese angle approaches to issues.
Here’s another appeal: Eichhorn waves his list of legislator endorsements as a banner to show us he’s capable of dealing and negotiating with liberals. Reed doesn’t want to negotiate, he wants to DEFEAT liberals and their ways. He rejects their premises, and that’s the kind of leader we need in Washington.
For those of you still unfamiliar with Mr. Reed, here is his campaign website: www.christopherreed2008.com
I am expecting great things from this young man and I do not think I am going to be disappointed.
