Brad Miller for Governor?

North Carolina congressman Brad Miller announced he will not seek reelection to the newly gerrymandered seat that would have pitted him against a fellow Democratic incumbent. Miller has always struck me as a dedicated and smart representative and one who, without knowing his personal perspective, would not be dropping out of politics for good—not by his own volition anyway.

Assuming Miller is scanning the landscape for another political opportunity, is there anything on the horizon more promising than North Carolina's governorship now that Democratic incumbent Bev Perdue has announced she will not run? Miller would make a good challenger to sitting Democratic senator Kay Hagan in two years, but he'd be the underdog. On the other hand, he would start a campaign for Governor as a top-tier contender. I won't be surprised if he throws his hat in the ring.

As a governor Miller would have a more difficult time shuffling billions of dollars toward the banking industry.

So, if given a choice, I would much rather see his influence in impoverishing our nation constrained to the state of North Carolina.

Of course, a socialist like Miller is unlikely to win outside a gerrymandered district, so NC would prove a difficult "district" for him.

LOL...Polifrog must not know much (anything) about the legislation Brad Miller has written. Unlikely he would be shuffling anything to banks, or be getting anything from banks.

Polifrog is a person of strong opinions and great detachment from the facts.

Polifrog (or Polecat) as she's known on the fruitcake blog she than writes on knows even less about Representative MIller than she does about the Constituion. Truth is, she's got the hots for Miller.
