Maybe Latham will reconsider now that he has a free path to the nomination.

Wishful thinking...

Matt Schultz (state Secretary of State of Iowa, elected very narrowly, 49-47, in 2010) seems to be the fellow the Republicans are trying to get next. He's, interestingly enough, a Mormon. Braley is more experienced and more entrenched, but Schultz has run a successful statewide campaign before, whereas Braley has not. We'll see how it goes, but Braley is probably initially favored.

There's been some rumors of this, yes...

Paging Matt Schultz and Tom Latham. No one ever thought King would actually run, right?

After this I can almost see Latham reconsidering, like Connie Mack last year.

If Tom Latham runs, he will have a tea party opponent. Tilt democrat with Latham?

Latham was down three points and at only 41% against Braley, not really a slam dunk. If he ran, it would be at least a Lean Democratic affair and Democrats could pick up his house seat.
