		<description>Christopher Rants (R) of Sioux City will not face an election until 2010 -- half of the Iowa Senate is (re-)elected every 2 years. He was last re-elected in 2006. Given his power and prominence, it will probably take an exceedingly well-qualified opponent to defeat him. With that said, I should disclose that I am fairly &amp; staunchly liberal...I don&#039;t know what the dems look like in Woodbury, but maybe you, Steel Medic, could help form a sizable &amp; noticeable opposition to Mr. Rants in 2010? Only time will tell, and there are no term limits in the Iowa Senate.</description>
