Radio Iowa is reporting that Selden Spencer is considering running again in 2008 in Iowa's 4th District.
Dr. Seldon Spencer, a neurologist from Huxley who was the Democrat challenging Latham's re-election bid this year, said late last night that he may run against Latham again in '08. "I'm very comfortable with analyzing the data..and starting to work on it (Wednesday)," Spencer told Radio Iowa. "I think I would like to plan for 2008."Spencer made great strides from when he announced in March to the last weeks of the campaign. His message was strong and he was improving as a public speaker. I think 2 things hurt Spencer's campaign and they were time and money. He entered the race late and was always facing an uphill climb to raise money. The big time donors had already placed their bets on other races. It was also Spencer's first time as a candidate and he had no name recognition. Without the money, Spencer couldn't do the ad blitz that was needed to get his name and message out there. I think a lot of Democrats in the 4th District would be happy to see Dr. Spencer run again.
Latham beat Spencer by 14 percentage points in this year's election. With 99 percent of the precincts reporting in the fourth congressional district, Latham is beating Spencer 57 to 43 percent.

I hope he does. He grew so much during this campaign, and became an articulate, visionary candidate. He's an incredibly decent and warm person who genuinely cares about people and the world he lives in. Wouldn't that be great in Congress instead of Latham?
