People seem to forget, but Proft DID run for Governor in 2010... and was shunned/ignored by the vast majority of self-appointed "Tea Party leaders" and "Conservative activists" in this state in favor of His Holiness Adam Andrejewski, who they IMMEDIATELY fawned over. Who cares about a guy who has been in the spotlight for YEARS fighting for conservative values in this state -- let's all INSTEAD get behind some guy who showed up YESTERDAY and tells us what we want to hear!
It was a real face palm moment for me, especially since Adam has all but disappeared now. Even my former State Senator (and 2002 GOP gubernatorial primary candidate) Patrick O'Malley endorsed Adam over Proft, which seemed pretty backstabber-ish to me considering Proft had been O'Malley's spokesman in this campaign.
Never understood where the Adam worship came from. It was basically the GOP equivalent the Obama messianic complex, some guy they never heard of before the election and who has never done ANYTHING is suddenly a political "rock star" and the savior of humanity.
Anyway...
Now, Amy Jacobson for Governor? THAT is an interesting possibility.
I’ll never forget about Proft’s governor campaign. After he lost that primary, I emailed him and asked him to run against Congressman Quigley, in 2012. I didn’t get a reply.
