Old Geezer from Minnesota Joins the Fray [View all]

[MaxRobes]

Hello everyone. I am a 71 year old life long Democrat form the blue state of Minnesota. I am a John Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey, Walter Mondale, Gene McCarthy Democrat. These names mean anything to you young folks? These were politicians who were also statesmen, in part because they didn't spend 4 hours a day, every day begging billionaires for campaign contributions.
I am a long time reader of DU who has decided to post a few messages in order to join the debate about the future of our Party and to seek your support for including our two Minnesota Senators, Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, in the discussion of possible candidates for president. In particular I would like to see them in the Democratic primary debates ... should there even be any. I am also deeply worried that the Clinton candidacy could be problematic. I'll start some threads on these topics soon if that is okay.
