We didn’t get our two percent last night.

So what!

The reasons I ran for governor haven’t changed. Iowa has still lost two Congressional seats in the past 20 years. Our education system is still in real trouble. Poverty in urban and rural Iowa is still unacceptably high.

And last night, corruption prevailed over accountability.

I’m going to take a few days off to rest, go see my daughter’s performance at UNI, take care of some housekeeping duties literally and figuratively, eat some food that’s bad for me.

And then …

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the …

A small group of disciplined, principled and dedicated Americans can bring about the change required to live in a free and open society, where justice and liberty prevails.
On Feb. 28, 1854, a movement was born in Ripon, Wisconsin when about fifty abolitionists gathered with the expectation they would change a nation.
They faced a formidable foe, lacked the technology we possess today, and were most important, unincumbered by the excuses that so often paralyze us when facing opposition – great and small.
Six years after they gathered they elected the …

The fact that neither major party candidate is suited to lead as governor has been validated by the Des Moines Register’s inablity to endorse either one.

“While Branstad’s re-election has an air of inevitability, that’s more because he is blessed with a weak opponent than because his record suggests he deserves another term. Indeed, there are many reasons why he does not deserve re-election.”

“Even many of his fellow Democrats are not passionate about Hatch’s candidacy. For the most part, his campaign is weak on specific policy issues and …

[Posted by Jonathan on Facebook]

Last night I stopped at Smokey Row in Des Moines in my quest for an Oatmeal Raisin cookie.
I also got a chicken caesar salad, and it was delicious.While there I ran into a gentleman I hadn’t seen for a while. He’s a passionate community activist and a Democrat. As we chatted he asked me directly “is your campaign being funded by Terry Branstad, that’s what Jack Hatch told me?”Now this is not the first time I’ve heard this. I was even …
