King would have been far better. The GOP is afraid to have an aggressive, knowledgeable person in this position. They must be afraid that this will hurt them with Hispanics. The GOP is blowing it big time.
But as a silver lining King will be vice. He will definatly be a force. He is NOT a pushover(also King’s district may be done away with(Iowa LOST 1 Congressional Seat) and his possible “replacement” (Latham) is kinda tight w/ the new Speaker))! Look to Steve to be in a future GOP Presidential Cabinet or the US Seante.
