Aaron Blake at WaPo* lists six crazy, fringe Senate candidates who keep Karl Rove up at night and make our Founding Fathers roll in their graves:
Iowa Congressman Steve King (another pea in the Todd Akin pod)
Georgia Congressman Paul Broun (says Obama is a socialist and evolution, embryology, and the Big Bang are lies from the pit of hell)
Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (her presidential campaign was an endless stream of crazy, such as that the HPV vaccine causes mental retardation)
Former GOP Alaska Senate nominee Joe Miller (currently pushing the John-Brennan-is-a-Muslim meme, strong ties to Alaska militia movement, as dumb and paranoid as they come, makes Sarah Palin look smart)
Montana state Representative Champ Edmunds
Former Louisiana Congressman Jeff Landry (said Obama gave special waivers to Muslims for TSA screenings)

Urk. My skin is crawling….
We joke, but this moron could end up in the Senate.
Agree all are unhinged but King seems surprisingly disciplined come campaign mode. Interested to see if he can be pushed.
That is true, he is able to turn it off when he has to. Most of them can’t tell when they’re saying something outrageous, it just seems normal to them.
