Sabo Has a "Challenger" in CD-5

2006 Elections, Federal The lifelong member of Congress, Martin Sabo (CD-5), has a DFL challenger this year. Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer is running as far left as he can with a hard anti-war campaign, pro-green campaign. I am sure he will generate a small, very small, amount of interested, but only because Democrats are see failed leadership nationally and the amount of greens in Minneapolis. I found some evidence of this by checking the forums on Democratic Underground forums.

I know Sabo is much loved. Hell, he's been in Congress longer than some DUers have been alive. But he is part of the establishment that says "Don't blame the Democrats" for anything while they keep voting for Bush's destructive policies or take a passive stance. We, the people, are stuck here in outrage while our Congresspeople sit like stumps.

All that said, don't quit your day job Jack. (Photo: www.backjack2006.org)
