Brandstad running for governor?

[Blue Gardener]

Didn't Iowa suffer enough the last time he was in office? I thought he was gone for good.

"Signs are increasing that Terry Branstad - Iowa's longest-serving governor, but one who hasn't been on the ballot for 15 years - is actively considering a run for the office next year.

The state's last Republican governor dismissed talk of a comeback last spring. But now he's discussing a 2010 run more openly, even as he says he is contentedly busy as president of a growing medical college.

"I'm not ruling it out, because I care deeply about the state," Branstad said in a Des Moines Register interview. "And I have real concerns about the direction things are going."

1. Culver is making it easy for him by being so damned clueless.

3. LOL

Yeah, seriously concerned about all the progress of the last 14 years ... it's making his 16 years of decline and population loss look really bad.

Branstad considers run for Gov = DU9598 considers run for border

4. Reminds me of one of the funniest things I ever saw

Brandstadt sitting next to Bill Clinton at the Governor's conference in 1991 I think it was.
Anyway there was a panel discussion. Clinton was on top of his game giving out ideas of programs and costs. I will never forget him saying the US can no longer afford to fall behind.
Braindead was up next. He stuttered a couple syllables. What a contrast.

5. Would the other little repub kids step out of the way for old Terry?

Rants is pretty power hungry. VP seems to want to be governor in the worst way(literally). Will they drop if tollbooth Terry runs?
