Karl Rove might want to read this story. It seems that Ken Veenstra, the assistant majority leader the assistant majority leader in the Iowa state Senate lost in a primary to Dave Mulder a college professor. While Mulder thinks he won because of his emphasis on education issues, many political pundits in Iowa thinks he won because of Veenstra's anti-gay agenda. What is fascinating to me is that the district in question is a heavily Republican district, not a swing district. This might show that even Republicans are getting tired of the far-right social agenda and want legislators to actually govern. Wow, what a novel idea!
Is this a fortaste of things to come? One can hope.
Thanks for Tony Dorsano for pointing out this story.

It's one of the last big wedge issues - and from my perspective, it's beginning to look like it might lose its power to divide this cycle (though I would not have thought so a year ago).
It's fortunate that Republican candidates are begining to recognize this on their own because Democrats could make some hay with it.
