As much as I like Colbert's coverage of IA's #1 embarrassment, I don't think I'll miss it when King loses the election.
(he is going to lose right?)

(76 posts)2. King's district was redrawn due to Iowa losing a house seat.
The new district includes some democratic areas. He is running against the popular Christie Vilsack (Tom Vilsack's wife). Agree about western Iowa though (e.g. Eastern Nebraska).

There is more than just nuts in squirrel shit.
Yeah, I made a little trip through the heart of Steve King land about a week ago. Fucking King signs everywhere. Not a single Vilsack sign. It was depressing.
