Draft Ciresi? Don't think so

The appearance of a web site called Draft Ciresi! has gotten a lot of play in Republican blogs lately--and nowhere else. Of course the Republicans are happy for anything that will take attention from Senator Bush's record. Don't take it seriously, though. Ciresi doesn't have a chance, and we can't let the right-wing sound machine keep changing the subject.

Why doesn't Ciresi have a chance? Just look at the endorsement campaign he ran. He was practically invisible. Early on, the assumption was that he would be neck-and-neck with Franken. He dropped out because his failed campaign ended with him running a distant third to Franken and Nelson-Pallmeyer, a perpetual long-shot. Do we really want him running a general-election campaign like that?

Al Franken is a strong candidate who's right on the issues. He's running against a Senator who has consistently voted against our state's interest. He is not going to have a primary challenge, so now it's time to get back to the issues.
