Christie travels to Iowa today
Governor Chris Christie takes his “I’m not running for president” tour to Iowa today to speak at an education summit and to headline a fundraiser for Congressman Steve King.
The education summit will also feature Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Iowa U.S. Senator Tom Harkin. In addition to the speakers, the 1500 attendees of the conference organized by Iowa Governor Terry Branstad will listen to panel discussions on recruiting top talent to be teachers, how states can have meaningful education reform and a look at other educational systems around the world.
King will seek reelection in a newly formed Iowa district that includes approximately half of his current district. Like New Jersey, Iowa lost a congressional seat in the 2010. Former Iowa First Lady Christine Vilsack is expected to be King’s Democratic opponent in 2012. Vilsack’s husband is U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack.
because of course he’s not running for Pres., he’s running for VP.. (does anyone really think a Romney/Christie ticket wins in 2012??).. if we don’t get an articulate and strong conservative voice,as Pres., and a lady or a minority as either Pres. or VP, we’re toast, plain and simple, because there will be no debate or criticism of this guy’s record, we’ll just be “racists,” yet again, which of course is simply their excuse and cover for their completely disgraceful performance!..
