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.

You beat me by 18 seconds (check out my post #45).

saw on the local news (waterloo/CF) that a**hat Braley is thinking of running for the empty senate seat after harkin leaves.

in my perfect world, braley runs for that senate seat, and loses, which forces him to give up his house seat, which is won by Lange.

Ideally, we could rid ourselves of harkin AND braley in one shot.
