Brownback will decide on '08 run this year The Kansas senator says he will run if his message matches political moods. By THOMAS BEAUMONT REGISTER STAFF WRITER August 18, 2006 U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback joined the parade of prospective 2008 presidential candidates at the Iowa State Fair this week, saying he would make a decision about his White House plans before the end of the year. Brownback, a Kansas Republican, said Thursday that he will decide to run if his message fits with what he sees as the political mood of the country. "I'm a big believer that the presidency is decided by the right person with the right message at the right moment," said Brownback, who succeeded former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole in 1996. "And those things have to line up for it to happen." Brownback is a social conservative and a member of the powerful Judiciary Committee. He said the 2008 election could well be decided on international security and military issues. Unlike a handful of other Republicans, Brownback has not put staff on the ground in Iowa. Brownback has been to Iowa several times since the 2004 election. He is among four Republican presidential prospects who have made plans to visit the Iowa State Fair this week. The 50-year-old former radio broadcaster and Kansas secretary of agriculture signed autographs at a funnel cake stand before visiting the fair's butter cow, a ritual for White House prospects. New York Gov. George Pataki and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia visited the fair last weekend. Arizona Sen. John McCain was there this week and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee is expected today. desmoinesregister.com
