Quad City Times Endorses Culver

The Quad City Times has come out endorsing Chet Culver for Governor today. Their endorsement seems to be somewhat anti-Nussle and pro-Vilsack. Here is what they say about Culver...

Culver seems to get how the governor’s office can shape initiatives with executive programs implemented by bi-partisan, locally based boards. That was Gov. Vilsack’s effective tool as he faced highly partisan opposition in the legislature.

Iowa’s biggest challenge is attracting and retaining younger people. The next governor needs to tackle it with collaborative, innovative approaches that bear no semblance to the combative politics-as-usual that emanate from Washington. The next governor needs to actively sidestep the predictable, entrenched opposition that forced courts to resolve important Iowa issues the legislature could not.
