Ms. Vilsack managed Hilary Clinton's 2008 Iowa Caucus campaign, in which she finished 3rd to Obama and John Edwards.
Maybe she can wear the bear
“....according to several sources familiar with her thinking...” Sounds like she is under the care of several psychiatrists.
The redistricting is a done deal - Branstad signed it today.
What does the redistricting mean? Does that benefit King or Vilsack?
The new Iowa 4th District will have a Republican edge in voter registration; and most of the counties going into the 4th District are currently in Latham’s - so while not a cake-walk for King - he’ll have to fight, because the ‘Rats & their union minions will fight hard, dirty, and for keeps.
In my opinion, this district will be more difficult for King than his current district, however, I think he can win. Sadly for us, being from SW Iowa, we’ve gone from having Steve as our rep to Leonard Boswell. Steve is very popular in SW Iowa. His new district does have Ames (a college town), however, it is far more conservative than U of I in Iowa City - but it is a college town.
I’m in 4 and will support King over nutsack big time. I hope you guys in SW Iowa are able to dump Boswell. I think it is time for the old bas*ard to retire. Way past due if you ask me.

We’ll do our best. I completely agree that he needs to retire. The difficulty will be Polk county. I hear that Boswell is already starting his “push polling” and dirty politics up there. I watched a you tube video of him in his last campaign trying to defend cap and trade. He had no idea what he was talking about. It was so pathetic.
In a totally unrelated post, I highly recommend the book “Holy War” by John Bunyan.
Wow. She looks like fun on a date.
Well I guess the aged Christie has been on the public dole for a few decades now, sucking up taxpayer dollars, making political contacts, kissing the asses of the lobbyists and getting on her knees for the press, all while dangling from her husband's coattails. Why not take a swing a King and sling some mud? She's the new Hillary!
So it looks like they are splitting things right on county lines this time?
Right now the DSM metro is split differently
Thanks for the info

Not for US Congress - those are, and have had to be full counties.
