Endorsing Amy Klobuchar
I hereby endorse Amy Klobuchar as the DFL's candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2006, assuming she will announce as expected. She will be a better candidate because her likely competitors, Patti Wetterling and Mike Cirsesi haven't won an election. I doubt that she has Wetterling's painfully obvious weakness on national issues, nor Ciresi's "baggage" and aloofness. And should Klobuchar be elected, she will do a superior job for the same reasons.
I also want the Republicans to face the best possible opposition, so that they will also field their best possible candidate. An early start and nods from the RNC aren't enough. The GOP needs to look long and hard at its impressive stable, including Kennedy, Gutknecht, perhaps Bachman and Yecci.
