I don’t think Brady has a statewide future after losing the unlosable race, even though it was stolen, it’s the perception.
I’ll throw out a name though, our young Lieutenant Governor in exile Jason Plummer.
Just like in 2008 the combine will work hard to make sure he gets a pass just like Kirk got in the GOP primary. We need someone real to have the stones to defy them and run anyway.
We really needed him to be elevated to rat leader to raise his vulnerability.
I agree that State Sen. Brady shouldn’t run, statewide, but I hope that he’ll run for Congress, in 2012. In 2000, when then-State Rep. Tim Johnson ran for Congress, he promised that he wouldn’t be a congressmen for more than three terms. He later broke his promise, and, in 2010, he won his sixth term. In 2012, he probably won’t run, and Brady could win his seat.
