POLITICAL PATRONAGE GONE AWESOME: So, pretend that you're the grandson of a prominent Iowa senator and you've decided to run in Butler County for an Iowa State House seat. The $1000 question: how would you raise funds?
Answer: clearly, you don't even need to, since your influential grandfather's potential '08 presidential candidate friends will just throw money at you. Grassman's grandson seems to be raking in the dough for his intended '06 bid. Roll call reports that Little Lawnmower has already cut into donations from George Pataki, Bill Frist, Chuck Hagel, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Lamar Alexander and the ultimate aisle-gap-bridger, Max Baucus.
