I’m guessing that the fact that no one else has answered that question besides you means that probably yes, there are plenty of the 200plus million voting age folks who have no idea who Steve King of Iowa is.

Thanks.

Jill:

I think I can safely say ‘no.’

The GOP is very happy he’s the Congressman for Western Iowa. And they hope and pray that he’ll stay right there for years to come and take care of his district.

Thanks, Keith.

So – is he the type that persuades others all around the country as to what they should do? I’m thinking…no?

Oh man, having come back home in April from doing almost four years in Iowa, I can say for a fact that Steve King is the biggest wanker in the state. He’s not just conservative, but the kind of proud-to-be-an-idiot conservative that people in Western Iowa (not the smart part of the state, that’s the east) seem to eat up.

You can google him and get all kinds of great Steve King stories, start with this one:

There’s a treasure trove of stuff on this looney tunes.

But yeah, if you want to win the hardcore moron vote in Iowa, getting his endorsement will plug in a reliable number of voters who will do whatever he tells them to. Sadly.

Oh and Jill, the answer to your question is seven. Seven electoral votes.

Thanks for proving my point, Mark:

“The people of Iowa know who Steve King is.”

And how many electoral votes do they have? And how well do the people of all the other primary states know him?

If you can show me that other GOP legislators in other key primary states follow King, then I’ll concede.

As for the rest of your comment, I don’t have a clue re: what you’re talking about but okay.

Jill,

This is one of the sillier things I have seen written in a while. The people of Iowa know who Steve King is. He is a highly respected Congressman from the state of Iowa. This endorsement is great for Fred.

No one is confusing the congressman with the prolific horror writer, Steven King. In fact if Steven King endorsed a Republican, it would probably tank his chances as the author has recently suggested water boarding Jenna Bush. Apparently Steven King can not find the moral distinction between being Kalid Sheik Muhammed (the guy who planned 911) and being a daughter of the POTUS. Then again that is classic ‘moral equivalence’ thinking so common on the modern Left.
