10 Questions on Terry Branstad's Website

January 12, 2010

We have these questions in mind as Terry Branstad launches his new website tonight.
1. Does Branstad ever say 'yo tweeps' in person?
2. Who are your 'tweeps,' Governor?
3. Will candidate Branstad have a different website than Governor Branstad? Since candidate Branstad takes a different side from Governor Branstad on issues like federal deductibility and bonding...
4. Will he list 'running a $400 million deficit' in his accomplishments section?
5. Will he publish his plan to balance the budget on his website tonight, or does he still not have one?
6. Will he publish his plan for flood recovery on his website, or does he still not have one of those either?
7. In his website’s section on endorsements, will he list Joy Corning, his former Lieutenant Governor?
8. Will he post the articles about his time as governor, as fellow Republican candidate Chris Rants did?
9. Will Branstad use the words "Surf the net," "Information superhighway," or "World Wide Web" tonight?
10. When candidate Branstad surfs the net, did he happen to notice the Terry Loves Taxes ads? Or, the new Terry vs Terry ads? We sure hope he did!

Terry Branstad was elected as Iowa’s Governor in 1982. That’s before Google or the Blackberry and even before color monitors or widespread use of the Internet.
