I'm not celebrating King's loss. [View all]

IMHO, he was the easier candidate to beat. All the disaffected repubs and independents who were pissed at King will happily pull the lever for Feenstra. Plus the Ia GOP will now move mountains to keep the 4th district. Feenstra just said, "we must make sure this seat doesn't land in the hands of Nancy Pelosi and her liberal allies in Congress." That shit is going to sell well up there. Ugh.

I think Scholten's job just got a lot harder.

On the plus side, I'm feeling pretty good about kicking Joni's ass.

Time for another gin and tonic and call it a night.
