| Description | On first brush it may be easy to conclude that Michele Bachmann is best suited to represent the Sixth Congressional District. She has political savvy, knows government workings from her state senate service and rubs shoulders with the cream of the crop of the Republican Party, including President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
On first brush it may be equally easy to conclude that Bachmann's main challenger, Patty Wetterling, is not up to the job. Her years of work with missing and exploited children are to her credit, but she has never served in an elective post and as a DFLer, rarely rubs shoulders with Washington power brokers.
Our endorsement two years ago in the Sixth District went to Mark Kennedy over Wetterling. We felt he was best suited to continue in that job and that America was on the right track.
In 2006, we are endorsing Patty Wetterling.
The recent events in Washington with the Foley page scandal and its handling and the sum total of two more years of Republican control in Congress are enough to conclude it is time for change. Electing Wetterling is a step in the right direction. |
