We might be having some primaries in the 2008 Senate races. Take a look at the latest on these candidates and tell me who you prefer.
Oregon: Steve Novick or Alan Bates.
Minnesota: Al Franken or Mike Ciresi.
New Hampshire: Jay Buckey or Steve Marchand or Katrina Swett.
We need a candidate for Wyoming and Kansas, among other places. Any ideas?
Bates in OR (because he has experience), and Marchand in NH (because I just hate Katrina Swett that much).
Ciresi in MN because Franken is a media hound and a carpetbagger.
He ran as a “Peace First” candidate for congress in MN-05 last year and threw his support to Keith Ellison at the endorsing convention. For those who don’t know Keith, Rep. Ellison is the first Muslim and the first African-American from Minnesota to be elected to Congress.
Pallmeyer’s a professor at the University of St. Thomas and a pretty good organizer.
He wants to really push the debate on issues like global warming, peace, energy indepenence and restructuring the economy based on renewable energy technologies.
He’s a master at pushing the Overton Window.
Could get interesting.
How is Franken a Carpet bagger? I believe he is from there. Just outside of Minneapolis I believe. Right near where he lives now. Get it right. He is a favorite son of Minnesota who has made it good and is now moving to a part of his life where he can give back by serving. And you question his motivations. Besides, Cerisis is evil incarnate and an anarchist (while we’re going baseless).
What do people in Kansas and Wyoming think?
or Morrison (although he just won the state attorney gen and I really like him there!) or Dennis Moore.
Sebelius makes much more sense in 2010 for Brownback’s seat.
FRANKEN will deliver a spankin’ to all who oppose him. That Ciresi guy is evil, obviously if he stands against the Frankenator. It’s time to pick sides people: Are you for Evil? I didn’t think so.
Besides it will be nice to have another senator in the family. The last one was a while back..
I am thinking about working his campaign for a few months. I’ll just set up a table outside the SPAM MUSEUM and it’s a lock.
