King is a disgusting racistjerk who thinks he represents a majority of Iowans when he doesn't.

This is why we "snobby" elites fly over. Also I lived in Wisconsin when it was normal, great people.

For about the 100th time, I apologize for this guy.
Not all of us in Western Iowa back this guy.

The current card of republicans should be a total embarassment to the party...that they aren't is a commentary on how low the party has sunk. King is representative of too many in Iowa these days...it is not the Iowa I remember growing up, however it is often the Iowa I see when I visit my relatives. Ex-Page county Iowan.

Isn't important for each candidate to stand on their own? If you don't have the guts to do that and need to see if you can "kiss the ring" of someone else and do their bidding, you don't deserve to be in the office you are running for.

Most dangerous spot in Iowa? In between King and a camera.

"Held court" is right. This guy mistakenly believes he's relevant.

*tupid leaders for an ignorant people. They would be watering the lawn with Gatorade and going in for a "latte" We really need to break up this country, and let the sheeple have there own space. When ask on a trip to Europe by a local, I said "I'm from California" I am so embarassed otherwise.

I wish I still lived in Ames so I could help vote this guy back to a private life far away from Washington.

King, DeMint, Armey....all for foisting off the most extreme teaper as the Republican nominee.

King will also get lotssssss of Super PAC money as he runs against Pres. Obama..I mean Vilsack..or both Vilsacks.

Hope Iowa gets it together and votes that pompous_ss out!!

Will the real Steven King step forward. Are the voters from Real Blood, or are they real vampires and zombies.

King suffers from the same "vacant behind the eyes" malady that afflicts Bachmann.
