Dems are keeping control of the Iowa Senate!
Iowa Republican butt hurt just got worse!
Democrats have retained the Iowa Senate and picked up seven seats in the House, preliminary results show.
The issue of Senate control was unresolved last night. Party tabulations released this morning that review key open-seat races indicate Democrats hold a 26 to 23 edge.
The Iowa Secretary of State’s Web page confirms the Senate Democratic count excluding Senate District 42, in a race between Larry Kruse of Donnellson and Rich Taylor of Mount Pleasant. Democrats say they won the seat but incomplete results reported on the state’s site shows Kruse ahead. Calls to the Secretary of State early this morning were not immediately returned.
“This was a hard-fought and hard-won campaign,” said Senate Majority Leader Michael Gronstal, who himself won reelection Tuesday. “But our advantage was a group of moderate, well-qualified candidates who worked hard to earn every vote.”
So I guess we won't be seeing ol' Braindead trying to Walkerize Iowa. No discrimination in the constitution. No turning back women's rights 50 years. And in 2014 God willing we fix the mistake we made in 2010 by giving Braindead another term as Governor.
