Racist House Member Steve King May Get His Comeuppance

Steve King, popular among white supremacists

We wrote about the unlikely J.D. Scholten back in the middle of June. Scholten, a former professional baseball player, is running hard in Iowa's 4th Congressional District against toxic spill, Rep. Steve King. Odds are totally against Scholten because Republicans out-number Democrats in that district by 70,000 voters.

But lookee here! Scholten's own polling shows him down by just 6 points (and, yeah, I know about internal polling), and he appears to be closing fast on King.

Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants?
