I just read he wants creationism to be taught in school. American politics are quite entertaining.
Maybe he can give his first campaign speech from the front steps of this museum:
Museum brings creationism to life
Biblical account is taken as scientific gospel at $25 million Creation Museum

PETERSBURG, Ky. - Like most natural history museums, this one has exhibits showing dinosaurs roaming the earth. Except here, the giant reptiles share the forest with Adam and Eve.
That, of course, is contradicted by science, but that’s the point of the $25 million Creation Museum rising fast in rural Kentucky.
Its inspiration is the Bible — the literal interpretation that contends God created the heavens and the earth and everything in them just a few thousand years ago.
“If the Bible is the word of God, and its history really is true, that’s our presupposition or axiom, and we are starting there,” museum founder Ken Ham said during recent tour of the sleek and modern facility, which is due to open next year.
Ham, an Australian native who started the Christian publishing company Answers in Genesis in the late 1970s, said the goal of his privately funded museum is to change minds and rebut the scientific point of view.
“We’re going to show you that we can make sense of the different people groups, we can make sense of fossils, we can make sense of what you see in the world,” he said.
Visitors to the museum, a few miles from Cincinnati, will be able to watch the story of creation unfold in a 180-seat special-effects theater, see a 40-foot-tall (12-meter-tall) re-creation of a section of Noah’s Ark and stare into the jaws of robotic dinosaurs.
“It’s education, but it’s also doing it in an entertaining way,” Ham said.
Scientists say fossils and sophisticated nuclear dating technology show that Earth is more than 4 billion years old, the first dinosaurs appeared around 200 million years ago, and they died out well before the first human ancestors arose a few million years ago.
“Genesis is not science,” said Mary Dawson, curator emeritus of vertebrate paleontology at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh. “Genesis is a tale that was handed down for generations by people who really knew nothing about science, who knew nothing about natural history, and certainly knew nothing about what fossils were.”
Ham said he believes most fossils are the result of the Great Flood described in Genesis.
Mark Looy, a vice president at Answers in Genesis, said the museum has received at least $21 million in private donations. He said two anonymous donors have given $1 million, and he expects the museum to be debt-free when it opens next May.
John Morris, president of the Institute for Creation Research in San Diego, an organization that promotes creationism, said the museum will affirm the doubts many people have about science, namely the notion that man evolved from lower forms of life.
“Americans just aren’t gullible enough to believe that they came from a fish,” he said.

Yeah, that could turn into quite the Brokeback campaign trail. One thing leads to another, they wake up next to eachother one morning, and realize they've both been full of shit for years.
I think our first challenge is to come up with a slogan that is hysterically funny to us, yet will go right over the heads of his supporters and appeal to them. I think it can be done
Want to send the Browns back? Vote Brownback.
I cannot come up with a new sig till I get this egg off my face.
Just b/c they're pro-life doesn't mean they're not pro-fuck!
that makes sense. these the people who consider contraception sinful? rant about letting teenagers go on the pill or access plan b? but pre-marital intercourse is a-ok by them eh? it must be nice to have such freedom to pick and choose which laws you have to follow and which are old-fashioned.
I bet Brownback drops out before this election even gets serious. He doesn't stand a chance. I doubt he would even carry his home state. I don't know if I would even vote for him...and I live in Kansas.

He'll keep the frontrunners honest, hitting them from their own right flank. Make sure they don't stray too far from the conservative base in an attempt to court undecideds and independents.

Who you backing?
All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

Or dishonest, pushing them to pander to a base they wouldn't necessarily target. If nothing else, he may introduce some drama or at least interest into the process. I'm a spectator with the major party primaries anyway, since I vote 3rd party. So the more drama the better for me.

eventually, brownback will be brought back to earth by the realization he's wasted time and a million or so dollars trying to become the reverend of america.

LOL, that's the truth. Running a campaign, no matter how far off-base, is a very expensive proposition.

Yeah. Hey, this is America, the land of opportunity, where everyone has the same chance to participate in their government. Any Average Joe with conviction and ambition can do it... as long as they have a war chest of millions and millions of dollars and a network of fundraisers, activists, pollsters, party officials, press spokespeople, etc...
Shit.

Yeah... I think it was on Hardball, but they were saying that to basically have a shot in '08, a candidate is going to have to spent at least $100 million.... $100 million to get a job that pays $400,000... What a colossal waste of money, but I guess that will give them the training that they need to be able to waste a lot more money when they get in office.

Good slogan!!!
Brownback is actually an open-borders douche.
I'd still vote for him. He attended the March for Life today, which I too attended. 100,000 pro-lifers in one place! Right at home!
-Enoch Powell
but ill bet with 50,000 women at one big party like that... you still didnt have a prayer of getting laid.
thus why i lean pro-choice. the women put out.
Just b/c they're pro-life doesn't mean they're not pro-fuck!
