MN: Buck Humphrey for Senate 2006

Update on the Minnesota race:

On the DFL side, activist Buck Humphrey said he's not ruling out a bid for the U.S. Senate.

The grandson of the late Vice President Hubert Humphrey and the son of former state Attorney General Skip Humphrey first said he wasn't interested in joining a growing list of candidates seeking the party nomination. But Buck Humphrey said later that he wouldn't rule out running for the open Senate seat.

Other potential DFL candidates include Minneapolis lawyer Mike Ciresi, Senate Majority Leader Dean Johnson of Willmar, state Senator Steve Kelley of Hopkins, former Congressman Bill Luther, Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobuchar, and former public development official Rebecca Yanisch.

Al Franken has not ruled out a run in 2008--which is more likely to keep the seat Jewish. All the previous Senators form Minnasota since Rudy to get elected in the cycle that is up in 2008 have been Jewish. Norm Coleman is a Jew from Brooklyn, NY and a former Democrat. ">LINK
