The Sioux City Journal’s Bret Hayworth just interviewed U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Kiron, who is in Iraq. King says he’s not had much interaction with GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin but views the choice as one that cuts into Barack Obama’s generational appeal.
Here is Hayworth in The Journal’s Politically Speaking blog:
Just before noon, I interviewed Republican Congressman Steve King in Iraq and the Palin nomination was just an hour old. King said he’d never seen her in person, but was enthused. Palin, 44, is younger than Obama, 48, and takes the generation gap off the table (McCain turned 72 today), King said. Plus he loves her support for more drilling of oil in her state of Alaska.
