Hopefully, we haven't seen the last of Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks

IowaPolitics.com (blog) reports Tuesday, November 18, 2008 that Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks is open to another run for public office.

"The fact that my job ends as of Dec 31st - I had to resign from my practice
- I kept that a secret. I have some latitude now in what I do in the future
and
I would definitely not rule out running again. I was working full time
and
campaigning." - Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks

Miller-Meeks, an Ottumwa Republican and a retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve who was candidate in Iowa's 2nd congressional district in November 2008.

What lies in the future?

Today's link comes from the Wednesday, November 5, 2008 edition of The Wall Street Journal. It features an article titled, "Polls Show CA Prop 8 Ahead." Here's an interesting read on ballot initiatives from the 2007 article in Limits titled, "Unprecedented Danger in One of the Proposed California Ballot Initiatives."

"The Founding Fathers were highly suspicious of unregulated majorities. Hence,
they deliberately created the Electoral College to constrain the will of the
majority and to ensure that the votes of those in less populous States were
heeded." - Paul M. Weyrich

McCain's Concession - Stephen Hayes, Weekly Standard

The Age of Obama: Will He Govern as He Ran? - Jon Meacham, Newsweek

Ten Reasons Why Obama Won - Carl Cannon, Reader's Digest

Tide Turned as Economic Crisis Peaked - Monica Langley, Wall St. Journal

Barack Obama will soon take the role as our 44th President of the United States of America. There is a lot of work to be done at all levels of government. Public policy discussions will be imperative and what discussion with come of the thought of reducing or limiting the role of government?
