... video from the Sioux City Journal/KCAU-TV/WOI-TV debate on Tuesday clearly shows King, a five-term Republican incumbent from western Iowa, with hand-written notes printed on his left palm.
The Vilsack campaign quickly fired off an email accusing King of violating the debate’s ground rules.
But a spokesman for King told Politico the candidate has a “habit” of writing notes and reminders on his hands, and that whatever was printed there during the debate was probably from the day before.
