GLENN GROTHMAN

The controversial Republican Glenn Grothman won a gerrymandered Wisconsin district handily Tuesday. Grothman, who is succeeding retiring moderate Tom Petri is on the record as opposing Martin Luther King Day and supporting a seven-day work week.

Grothman has also attacked John Kerry for offending God by condemning Uganda’s anti gay law, and recalled his high school years as a time when “homosexuality was not on anybody’s radar and that’s a good thing.” Bloomberg’s Dave Weigel has already dubbed him as the next Republican congressman “more likely to end up being mocked by Jon Stewart as they are to pass a bill.”

MARK WALKER

Mark Walker easily won his North Carolina House, which is district centered around Greensboro, after triumphing in a highly-competitive primary to succeed longtime GOP Rep. Howard Coble earlier this year. Walker, a pastor making his first run for elected office, has already made a very aggressive foreign policy statement, saying that he wouldn’t have any qualms about going to war against Mexico in effort to secure the southern border.

He expounded on his philosophy of securing the Mexican border by saying “if you have foreigners who were sneaking in with drug cartels to me that is a national threat and if we’ve got to go laser or blitz somebody with a couple of fighter jets for a little while to make our point, I don’t have a problem with that either.”

2. Oh thank you thank you thank you

That might be enough crazy to take the focus off Bachmann ever representing Minnesota. She is from IOWA people, same place as Ernst, maybe different parts, but she is still from IOWA.
