Translation: He can see the Senate majority going up in smoke in November 2014, so he wants to get while the getting is good for his favorite groups. How does Iowa send people like this to Washington?

Please add "for a time." The pendulum always swings back, and when it does, the Left always swings FARTHER back.

Eastern Iowa is a strange place, full of former industrial small cities/towns.

Western Iowans are >> better, but of smaller headcount.

There is likely a Minnesota-like farmer-populist cohort in the mix too.

“He can see the Senate majority going up in smoke in November 2014, so he wants to get while the getting is good for his favorite groups.”

The really good news here is that he’s retiring and giving the GOP a seat ( that is if the GOPe doesn’t trash the likely Republican candidate). As for his legislation, my guess is that it’s dead in the House.
