Minnesota US Senate Candidate

Do you think Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer has a chance of winning the DFL nomination for US Senate this Saturday?

Quotes from AP article:

College prof no walkover for Franken in Minn. Senate run
By PATRICK CONDON – May 11, 2008 ALBERT LEA, Minn. (AP)

"My sense is people are attracted to my candidacy because of the person behind my campaign," Nelson-Pallmeyer said. "I'm not a negative person. I'm sick of politics that are about attacks. I don't think we have time for more division."

The 57-year-old Minneapolis resident with a shock of white hair describes himself as "something of a recovering introvert," and he doesn't have Wellstone's energetic charisma in person. But he can bring a crowd of Democrats to their feet with fiery speeches focused on his opposition to the Iraq war and Republican foreign policy.

A professor of Justice and Peace Studies at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Nelson-Pallmeyer's campaign platform is fueled by his lifelong focus on social justice and economic equality. He often leans on his life experience, from teaching in inner city Chicago to living in Central America to leading large Iraq war protests.

"What we really need if we're going to have a world that is secure is a world that's more just and more peaceful," Nelson-Pallmeyer said.
