Republican Candidates for Governor in 2010

Last month, I wrote that Steve King might have just kicked off his campaign for Governor after he spoke at the 2nd District Republican Convention.

Krusty Konservative runs down the top 12 Republicans that might run for Governor in 2010 against Chet Culver. The list includes a bunch of wealthy businessman, former politicians who are coming off loses in 2006, and a few current elected officials.

Here's the list (follow the link for a lot more information about each person)...

12. Don DeWaay
11. Jeff Ballenger
10. Former Senator Stewart Iverson
9. Former Representative Bill Dix
8. Mike Whalen
7. Former Senator Jeff Lamberti
6. Bob Vander Plaats
5. Bruce Rastetter
4. Former Senator Chuck Larson, Jr.
3. U.S. Attorney Matt Whitaker
2. State Representative Christopher Rants
1. Kongressman Steve King

HA! Steve King? You've got to be kidding?!
If that is the best they are going to put up than that would be awesome! King would lose in Double digits in all 3 eastern congressional districts and single digits in the 4th, It doesnt matter if he has a +25 out west, it wont put him above 40 percent... sad

I had no idea Krusty was back to posting. How long has that been going on? I stopped looking after he suspended his blog.

I'm surprised Bill Northey is not on the list.
