Mitt Romney speaks at Northwestern College, Iowa

They look so happy to see him.

Mitt Romney, speaking on the campus of Northwestern College in Iowa:

"And I'm looking here at Steve King, this man needs to be your Congressman again. I want him as my partner in Washington, D.C."

You want Congressman Steve King as your partner? We're talking about Iowa Congressman Steve King? The guy who is against laws against dogfighting, boasts that his laws allow more animal cruelty, blasts "multiculturalism" as "victims groups," gives long sermons on how the demon government is oppressing his God-given right to slightly less efficient lightbulbs, says that some Americans just don't need health care, flirts with birtherism, hangs out with racists, pines for the time when only male property owners could vote, says that high American unemployment is caused by a "nation of slackers," and just recently was opining to a reporter that he just plain never "heard of" anyone getting pregnant from incest or statutory rape? Steve King the sociopath?

That Steve King?

Well, I guess King wasn't just blowing smoke when he said that the Romney/Ryan campaign comes to him for advice on what Iowans are like. Have fun with your "partner," Mitt. My advice is that you embrace him just as much and as often as you can, because there's no way that could ever go wrong.
