The Comeback Kid?
Former Iowa Governor Terry Branstad continues his Comeback Tour through Iowa towns visiting with old friends and making many new ones. His brand of populism seems to be resonating with many Iowa voters who will be taking part in November's election for Governor. Known for leaving a budget surplus and his pro family positions he seems to be a genuine threat to current Governor Chet Culver. Although several candidates find Branstad's current tour something appealing, his ability to relate to most Iowans is reminiscent of Ronald Reagan's appeal. This election is one to watch for national trends in 2010.
