Hutchinson weighing in

The Hutchinson campaign is out with a new biweekly newsletter:

Minnesota is not alone. New York Times Columnist Tom Friedman thinks it will take a third party to deal with the energy crisis. A headline on a column by David Broder, Washington Post, asked rhetorically, "Who'll meet the demand for unity?" Former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan and John Avlon, author of "Independent Nation: How Centrists Can Change American Politics," think an independent will be sent to the White House in 2008. In Oregon, Texas and Massachusetts, highly regarded leaders are abandoning traditional parties and running for governor as independents. It's beginning to look like a movement.

Gotta give Huchinson credit for catchy slogans: "Not Left. Not Right. Forward."
