Wetterling Out, Taps Klobuchar

2006 Elections The event everyone saw coming, is official. Wetterling is out and Kennedy has already responded with this nice shot at Klobuchar and Bell.

"I'm surprised at Mrs. Wetterling's withdrawal from the U.S. Senate race. Although all three Democrats are from the liberal wing of their party, Mrs. Wetterling's campaign seemed to be setting the agenda on the DFL side. "Though we disagreed with her, often strongly, we admired the fact that she was willing to take clear cut positions and defend them publicly. "In anointing Ms. Klobuchar, the Democrats have staked themselves to a candidate who has been unwilling to tell voters her position on the key issues facing Minnesotans. "In the weeks and months ahead, it's important that Minnesotans hear specific ideas about how the Senate candidates would address the problems facing our nation and our state, not just poll-tested sound bites."
