On the Bright Side ...
In Kennedy vs The Machine, the Machine won. Amy Klobuchar will be our junior U.S. Senator. But it's not all bad news.
We must concede that Klobuchar ran a smart campaign, carefully avoiding issues, debates, specifics and controversy while the Machine trashed Kennedy. I hope she realizes that the bill for the latter will soon come due.
- Since she is replacing "her hero" Mark Dayton, she really won't change anything.
- We will finally learn what Amy Klobuchar really stands for.
- The Northern Alliance will be blessed with considerable program material for many Saturday's to come.
- Amy Klobuchar will no longer be Hennepin County Attorney.
- Since Klobuchar is now the most popular Senator since Hubert Humphrey, maybe the last of those Wellstone! lawn signs and bumper stickers will disappear.
