Man, wish my dad, a long time Iowa conservative was still alive to hear this news.

Now, the task for Iowa Republicans is to choose wisely who to run. This is no place for emotion. If I could appoint someone, I would appoint Steve King but I can't appoint someone and I fear SK may not be our strongest candidate as the eastern side of the state is more liberal than the western side.

We don't want to lose him in the House, although his seat should be a safe Republican seat.

I truly only care about which one of these would be our toughest candidate to defeat the Democrat. Latham might be that person. He's proven to be a consistent winner, even in a district that is not as conservative as SK's district.
