Petraeus

The skinny:“THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned that General Petraeus is planning on delivering the commencement address at the University of Iowa in 2010.”

He apparently does not have any ties to Iowa, so it certainly is logical that if he wanted to dip his toe in the Presidential waters, this would be a good way to do it. Much like Colin Powell in 1996 or Wesley Clark in 2004, I expect Petraeus to be the subject of immense speculation unless he makes a Shermanesque statement that he is absolutely not running.

The GOP has no definitive front-runner for 2012 so I'm sure they'll be taking a look at Gen Petraeus.
