Bob Vander Plaats: Our Secret Weapon

During a news conference Wednesday morning, Bob Vander Plaats exceeded our expectations.

Immediately after accusing Chet Culver of not being ready for primetime, Bob knocked over a WHO-TV microphone.

Immediately after Jim Nussle said: "I think it's important to talk about issues and not just talk about the other fella," Bob criticized Culver.

Both of these tidbits are from Radio Iowa. Good stuff. A nice start for the Nussle-Vander Plaats juggernaut.
