lol Chet Culver wants to run on his record

In some lighter news today, Chet Culver, he of 100,000 vote losses, is reportedly considering running for Congress in Iowa’s 3^rd Congressional District. For reference, Culver lost the 3^rd District by more than 28,000 votes in his failed 2010 reelection campaign – not exactly friendly territory.

Even more amusing is that Culver’s team is pushing his record on fiscal issues as a selling point. That’s right, the politician dubbed “Big Debt Chet” because of the astronomically high budget deficits he ran up is supposedly looking at campaigning on a message of fiscal responsibility.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Culver and his team are clearly so out of touch that they think a few election cycles can turn Chet’s biggest weakness into a strength. Seriously, how short do they think Iowans’ memories are?

“Voters resoundingly rejected Chet Culver’s failed tenure as governor in 2010, and he will not find a warm welcome should he decide to run again. Even though a few years have passed, Iowans still remember the rampant unemployment and enormous deficits of the Chet Culver years.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Hunter
