Reply #11: She'd be great, IMHO [View All]

[no name no slogan]

HUGE name recognition, very high positives, and no 'controversies' that can be dug up by RoveCo's operatives.

Plus, many Republicans like and respect her. Even John Walsh (from "Americas Most Wanted") did campaign commercials for her in 2004, defending her against the Kennedy smears.

Plus, her political inexperience may be a plus for her against Kennedy. She doesn't have a voting record to trash, she hasn't taken any controversial stands, and has a wholesome sort of 'average Minnesotan' appeal to her.

Kennedy may have won his last three elections, but he's still very weak, IMHO. He's never won a decisive victory-- all of his races have been within 5-6%, in very conservative districts. He should be able to win by landslides at this stage in the game, but he has yet to do so.

IMHO almost any DFLer could take him down in 2006, especially the way the Repubs are (mis)managing the federal and state governments.
