Todd Dorman offers a roundup of opinion on the news that Iowa is going to lose a House seat following the 2010 Census.
The funniest comment had to be from leftist bootlicker Nate Silver at 538/NY Slimes who airs some sort of insane fantasy about Steve King being vulnerable. The same sort of stupidity appears in the comments of the Gazette's story about the issue.
You've got to be mentally ill to think Steve King is vulnerable.
In 2008, the year Obama won, Steve King not only got 60% of the vote in his district, but he won all 32 counties in his district. In 2010, he got 66% of the vote.
Nate Silver, you're such a mathematical genius. Can you spot a trend here?
John Deeth's comments are technically correct about how reapportionment works in Iowa, but he doesn't really take into account the change in the political climate. Bruce Braley won by only 4000 votes in 2010 against nobody Ben Lange. A margin that was less than 2%. This is the same sweaty, creepy-looking Bruce Braley who beat David Hartsuch by 79,000 votes in 2008.
For the mathematically challenged, like that dumbass Nate Silver, Braley had 64% to Hartsuch's 35% in 2008.
Spot a trend, Nate?
