Another DFLer to enter Senate race
Jim Cohen has scheduled an announcement for Wednesday in Minneapolis. But there's not a whole lot of suspense about what he's going to say. Here's a release he sent:
Over the past several weeks, I have been exploring the possibility of seeking the DFL nomination for U.S. Senate in 2008. I have attended and spoken at many Congressional and Senate District meetings; participated in a diverse group of local Party events and fundraisers; and listened carefully to the thoughts and ideas of DFL officers and Party members, activists and other labor and community leaders in different parts of the state. In addition, my exploratory efforts have included conversations with many persons who describe themselves as uncommitted voters, Independents or simply as citizens of moderate political views.
As a result of my preliminary listening sessions and discussions, I have decided to seek the DFL nomination.
