Bruce Braley is leading a whole host of Republican challengers for the open US Senate seat in Iowa

Bruce Braley is leading a whole host of Republican challengers for the open US Senate seat in Iowa for 2014.  One of the challenges the GOP might be finding themselves in Iowa (outside of the changing demographics of the state) is a lack of good recruiting. I can't really be sure I have heard of any of these GOP challengers in 2014. Iowans thoughts?
