Kansas Republican Gov. Sam Brownback won’t rule out a presidential run in 2016 but says he is focused on his 2014 re-election campaign.

In an interview with Fox News contributor Mallory Factor, Brownback commented briefly on his political future.

When asked about a possible 2016 bid for president, Brownback said: “I’m a 2014 candidate for governor in the state of Kansas, that’s what I’m running for.”

Asking if he is quietly laying the groundwork for a campaign for president, Brownback insisted: “I’m not doing that, I’m a 2014 candidate for governor.” But he did not explicitly rule out the possibility of running.

Brownback is likely to face Kansas House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Democrat, in his race to win a second term.

Brownback said the difference between him and Davis is clear. “Do you want somebody who supports President Obama in the way he’s taken the country or someone who thinks we ought to go to the Kansas route?”

2. Oh, well if you destroy Kansas i guess the next step would be to run for president of the US.

Must make sense to someone, it doesn't to me.

5. No pun, but might as well go for broke. He did it to KS. Now, he has

his sights set on throwing the entire US into a major deficit.

6. Is there a site I can donate at or send encouraging words ?

I love the way these sociopaths always double down when they hit a wall.

8. He is, isn't he. Many people would say to themselves, I F'ed up and play a lower key, but he wants

to go full steam ahead! Weird.

10. I think the Daily Show is going to have a fun primary season

So far Donald Trump, Ted Nugent, Sam Brownback, Ted Cruz, and Michelle Bachman have all expressed interest in running. If you thought the 2012 GOP lineup was bad I have a feeling this next one is going to be even more laughable.

11. That article is over 7 months old. Even if he wins, he is damaged goods. He won't run in 2016.
