In the category of news you might have missed, Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS), one of the most hard core right wingers in Congress, is thinking about running for President according to the Associated Press:
Add another name to the list of potential 2008 presidential candidates: Sen. Sam Brownback. The Kansas Republican, little known outside his home state, is using a network of social conservatives and Christian activists to raise his profile in Iowa and New Hampshire, two states critical to White House hopefuls.This guy is as far out there as they go. The wingnuts will love him. And, count on gay-bashing to be one of the topics he'll use to generate interest.
In an interview Thursday, Brownback said he has not made a formal decision on whether to run and would not give a timetable on when he would decide.
"I'm exploring the options," Brownback said. "There's a lot of interest in the topics that I've been pushing for some time."
