Hey western Iowans (others too)
I just read this on the Nebraska Forum: Harold Anderson, editor and publisher of the Omaha World Herald announced that "I'm going to the Douglas County Election Commissioner's office on Monday to change my political registration from Republican to Independent

http://nebraskademocrats.blogspot.com/2005/03/nebraska-republican-standard-bearer.html

I would think that I'm not the only Republican who feels the party's leadership has engaged in an irresponsible and perhaps unprecedented effort to subvert the traditional separation of government powers.

WOW

4. Please do
We'll be working hard to unseat Leach out here in the east with a potential empty seat in the first district also. But King is such an embarrassment to Iowa.

6. King makes my skin crawl.
If only people in western Iowa actually knew what that dirty Satan-incarnate was all about and didn't blindly vote for the Republican.

7. fat chance
I would be willing to bet that most of his supporters DO know what he's about and LIKE it. It is NW Iowa, afterall.

5. At least he didn't register as a dem... we don't want him.
Of course, I'm happy to see that some long-time repubs are seeing the light, but Anderson, as an individual, is a royal piece of crap.
