It's also how now-retired politicians Gary Locke and Max Baucus closed off their careers. Branstad is 70, so it's not like he'd do anything else after. Maybe he'll follow Locke and Baucus and close off his carrer with that.

Fair enough. Brandstad always seemed to me as someone with no higher elective office ambitions other than Governor.

It's like the only notable exception. Plus, if you want to be precise, Bush wasn't the Ambassador, but Chief of the Liason Bureau (US still formally recognizing Taiwan.)
