Money forces Greenfield to toe the party line

Tom Shepherd

It has been estimated Theresa Greenfield’s campaign war chest was nearly $50 million. I don’t think that kind of money comes from bib overall farmers or Joe six-packs who work the line every day.

Think about that for a minute, $50 million is what the east and west coast elites think it is worth to buy a Senate seat from Iowa.

These people expect a return on investment. If Greenfield strays from the party line her career is over and she knows it. She will dance with the one who brung her. Problem is we don’t know who brung her.
