When Blue America asked our supporters to pick the worst congressman in the country for an ad, loudmouthed Iowa reactionary Steve King was a finalist. In the end Virginia Foxx won and the ad is marvelous but I have to admit we would have enjoyed taking on King as well. He's a toxic and negative political force from the western end of the otherwise moderate, populist state. And this year he has a formidable opponent in Matt Campbell, who was endorsed Sunday by the Des Moines Register, which called King an "embarrassment" to the state. "He is provocative, not focused on getting results for Iowans. He is reactive, not visionary."
