I think Walker's charmed life as a Koch Bros elected stooge is about to come to an end, at least the elected part. He reminds me a bit of Rick Scott - another guy who through no actual skills of his own managed to ride a favorable national electoral climate for his party into a couple of close wins.

If we do see a wave we will be bidding several of these guys ado. Walker is particularly execrable, but hopefully sweethearts like Steve King will be taken out with the rest of the trash.

They believe that. And so do their voters. And you'll never convince them otherwise.

Expect nothing else from people who insist their bigoted denial of others' civil rights is their "religious freedom."

Steve King is in something like a R+30 district. He's safe.

I was going by an IA newspaper editorial. Should have known.

It would be really nice if sane Republicans started challenging these jackas-ses in the primaries.

Best place to put this I guess: Anchorage is having a local election today, notable for two things 1) It’s our first vote-by-mail election and 2) we have a bathroom bill on the ballot. Part of me is hopeful on the bathroom bill but the other part of me knows this place can be pretty derpy sometimes, though Anchorage is trending liberal these days.

Bathroom bill is failing right now but it’s close enough with ballots still to count.

Our incumbent Dem Mayor is cruising to reelection.

Of course, according to comments by conservatives, the mail-in balloting is a liberal conspiracy designed to ensure liberal candidates are elected.

Unless there is a subsidy for the stamp, vote by mail constitutes a poll tax. Violation of the 24th.

Wrong as usual. Mail in ballots are postage paid. Of course.

Just say what you mean: "don't let people vote; it's inconvenient for the rich."

Actually they weren’t postage paid but there were multiple drop off locations. And you had two weeks.

Who is/was slimier: Scott Walker or Tim Pawlenty?

I'd say Walker. I don't ever remember a situation where a governor tried to have a special election cancelled because he was afraid of his party losing even though the results won't change the partisan advantage in the state house. It's mindboggling.
