DFLer Nelson-Pallmeyer eyes Senate race

Posted at 11:05 AM on June 6, 2007 by Mike Mulcahy (2 Comments)

Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer, the DFLer who originally challenged Rep. Martin Sabo last year before Sabo retired, is now thinking about a run for U.S. Senate.

Nelson-Pallmeyer says he's launching an exploratory campaign with listening sessions around the state.

“It is too early to anoint a candidate,” Nelson-Pallmeyer says in a release. “What we need is a state-wide conversation about pressing problems and practical solutions.”

He joins Peter Agre and Jim Cohen in the DFL-exploratory mode. Al Franken, Mike Ciresi, Bob Olson and Dick Franson are in the race already hoping to face off against Norm Coleman next year.

It's been a 4 way race for awhile now. Jim Cohen may not have formally announced but he's spent some money on this campaign.

He's got a great lit piece, brochure, etc. that's already sent in the mail to former DFL delegates. I think I received it at least two weeks before I had anything in my mailbox from Bob Olson.

Bob Olson isn't even listed on the DFL's Senate page and JN-P is!

BTW, I've seen folks from all 4 campaigns speak at DFL events four over a month now.

This is the most hopeful candidacy so far. Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer has a way of putting it all together in a serious yet hopeful way. If he gets into the Senate, I predict the positive influence there will still be noted in history books a hundred years from now.
