Steve King just announced he will not run for the U.S. Senate. The Tea Party Republican Congressman from Iowa had been deliberating but made the announcement minutes ago via Twitter:
I will not run for Senate in 2014. A Senate race takes me out of urgent battles in Congress that can’t wait until 2015. Many thanks to all.

Darn... I was looking forward to that as a DOUBLE "gimme"... It would have been a guaranteed Dem Senate seat; and, he would have had to give up his House seat to run for it...So, we would have been rid of him for good... I guess someone from the ruling-party must have gotten to him.
But, he'll still be at the top of the Top-10 list for removal, along with Michele Bachmann and a few others....
It would be more fun to see the author Stephen King run for Senator of Maine. "If we don't pass Obamacare, it will be a nightmare, and believe me I know how to create nightmares."

Which reminds me that the party of that "laser-like focus on jobs" (that apparently only does things like renaming post offices, and passing things on abortion, and anti-gay/anti-women measures), is going to go for a 37th (or is it 38th?) attempt at repealing ObamaCare... Yep...38th time is the charm....NOT .. Bwahahahaha....
But hey, it's been 6 weeks, I guess it's time to give it another go.
Even Senate Democrats like Max Bachus are saying this Obamacare is a nightmare as written, so maybe it does need to be repealed or do we really want a country where people only work 20 hours a week?

It appears Mr. King made some toxic rape/pregnancy comments so thinks he couldn't win.
More embarrasing for the Iowa Republican party, they can't find a serious statewide candidate for the office. This is a very bad sign when Iowa, America's Heartland, moves to blue state status.
