But after a slew of establishment picked losers last November, prospective candidates aren't putting their necks out on the line on the off chance they might be elected. Because establishment candidates only like a sure thing. They don't like to fight for it and take controversial positions that they may have to answer for later. Conservatives, on the other hand, relish the battle, and fight the liberals.
I hope Steve King decides to run. He can take that Iowa seat because he's not afraid to speak his mind and will not cower from the fight. With Deb Fischer handily defeating Bob Kerrey in neighboring Nebraska last November, another real conservtive can certainly defeat a democrat in Iowa.
King’s strategy is probably correct.
Keep it low key for the moment, keeping the pecker gnats at the Register at bay...
Establishment Republicans don’t like to fight for ANYTHING which is why they are going the way of the dinosaur.
If this King fellow voted to elect Boehner leader again after the “imperfect deal” Oboehner tax hike at the beginning of the year, I don’t see a conservative.
Over 90 percent of GOP politicos are phonies.
My congressman (Scott Perry of PA 4th District) goes out and attacks “the administration” but he voted to keep Boehner as leader too.
They make red meat speeches using emotional wedges to keep us supporting them while they continue to spend way too much but we are supposed to like them because their deficit spending is less than Obama’s.
When will the King’s and Perry’s propose an immediate balanced budget and the elimination of government deparments to help get us there?
It looks more like establishment Republicans are dropping out left and right, leaving the nomination King's for the asking. So why hasn't he announced yet?
Steve King will run and he can win. He is a fighter and he isn’t afraid to bloody his opponent and drive a populist line.
Well, Senate anyways.
Says the butt turd from, here ya go folks - MASSACHUSETTS.
Don’t comment on Iowa politics jackweed till you know the facts.
Rep. Steve King has said officially he will not run for the US Senate seat held by Tom Harkin. There’s no bench either.
Perhaps the potential candidates are spiking the run to frustrate the long knives of the media.
Or perhaps polling data looks so disastrous that no one wants to waste their time and money.
