Governor Gronstal?

Members of the press in Iowa came away with two different stories from State Senator Mike Gronstal's appearance on Iowa Press.

The Associated Press reports --

Senate leader Gronstal won't run for governor

The Ragister's Old Bromide, Kathie Obradovich, believes he didn't rule it out --

Gronstal downplays ’14 governor run

These are supposed trained professionals and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The story the rest of the press focused on is that Gronstal (excuse me) will again lead the party of NO.

Gronstal will block marriage amendment

His defense is that, "I'm not going to write discrimination into the constitution."

It says a lot about Gronstal's faith in Iowans, merely putting it to a vote doesn't automatically write it into the Constitution, maybe Iowans would vote to support gay marriage.

Here's Gronstal's 2009 belief of the role of state government...

"There are three things that state government does — it incarcerates, it medicates and it educates, and after that, there's almost nothing else left in the budget."
