question to ponder: Will Iowans elect Branstad after he dies?

I was responding to another post about Branstad when I realized that there is no matter what he does Iowans just seem to line up and vote for him.

Made me wonder if dying might stop his career or would it just slow it down a bit? Maybe lose a few votes?

guess the weather has me a bit depressed & snarky

He is corrupt. Just read the reporting on the behind the scenes bullshit in the hiring of the new president of the University of Iowa. He is a hack.
