If you wanted a perfect measure of the split in the Iowa House Republicans, you couldn't have done better than yesterday's vote on Kim Pearson's Roe-Wade challenging Total Abortion Ban bill. The roll call is a clip-n-save checklist for Campaign 2012: Conservative vs. Very Conservative, Main Street vs. Tea Party, Pragmatist vs. Purist, Leadership vs. Those On The Outs, this has it all.
Yes: 24 Republicans Rep. Dwayne Alons Rep. Richard Anderson Rep. Mark Brandenburg Rep. Roy E. Chambers Rep. Betty R. DeBoef Rep. Cecil Dolecheck Rep. Joel Fry Rep. Pat Grassley Rep.

Huseman, Schulte, Watts absent. Most interesting splits in terms of redistricting pairs: Moore-Hein, Brandenburg-Hanusa, Shaw-Tjepkes.
And what's Democrat Dan Muhlbauer doing here?
