Updating my last post, Paul Pate announced today he will not run for Iowa Secretary of State.

So far the Republicans have produced two potential candidates for SOS. The first, Chuck Allison, was the subject of so many bankruptcies and lawsuits he had to drop out. Then the GOP cries out for Pate, but Pate won't run (presumably because he misued his office for political purposes, misrepresented his resume, and tried to copyright Iowa marketing slogans for personal gain).

What will these zany Iowa Republicans think of next? This is more hilarious than Comedy Central!
