We’d be remiss if we failed to mention two big shake-ups in the Minnesota Senate race.
Jim Cohen, a Minneapolis attorney has entered the race for the senate. He has a surprisingly good website here. Cohen as well borrowed my line “Coleman has a sail where a backbone should be.” It’s all good Jim.
And
Bob Olson has dropped out of the Senate race and is taking on she-who-shall-not-be-named. I don’t think this is all that unusual. This far out people are going to reevaluate their positions and change their focus. None the less we wish Bob the best as he works towards being the DFL nominee to take on the forces of icky.
As well we’ve heard some rumblings about a past and possibly future candidate who is thinking about taking on the kissy-monster. We’ll keep you in the loop Publicans.

Good to see Jim is joining Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer mostimportantdecade.com in supporting single-payer universal health care. Jim needs more specs about market-based incentives for curbing global warming. If we want to get serious about climate change we need cap and tax. Money generated would go to clean renewable energy - wind, solar, ground-source (closed loop) and hydro (not large scale) as well as serious programs for conservation
Franken has some bizarre wishy-washy statement about how some industrialized countries have a universal form of health care that is not single-payer. Franken fails to specify which countries have this system and he also fails to articulate a model for universal health care that is not single-payer. It appears if voters want a Senator who won’t pander to the insurance cartel Jim and Jack are the candidates to back!
