Actually, NGC, I haven’t checked Iowa lately. Nevertheless, we’ve done it the partisanship way now for a long time. At the least we should give non-partisan (preferable) or bi-partisan (I’ll settle) redistricting a shot

Ok I will bite, I say this with love and admiration: you are naive. Hve you checked Iowa lately. I do not think anyone thinks there is less patinship in Iowa.

Yeah, Frederick is definitely a gift to Ds.

With Jeff Frederick running the RPV, we can, with a modicum of effort, retake the House, replenish the Governors mansion (Moran) and keep the Senate secure. I for one, think Frederick is the best Republican for the job of running the state GOP. I couldn’t have picked a better example of right-wing-thought.

Very interesting take, and I certainly agree that nonpartisan redistricting should move forward.

However, it seems to me that, if we take Dr. Northam at his word as to his reasons, the “small d” Democrat in this saga is, in fact, Governor Tim Kaine.
