"A former FBI whistle-blower who urged the agency to investigate terrorism suspect Zacarias Moussaoui in the weeks before Sept. 11, 2001, is considering a race for Congress in Minnesota.
"Coleen Rowley told The Associated Press on Monday she will make a decision by early next month on whether to run as a Democrat against incumbent GOP Rep. John Kline in next year's election."
I used to be happy to vote for Betty McCollum for Congress. Then I was redistricted into the Minnesota 2nd (probably because I live in an ueber-exurb) and have voted for anybody but John Kline, minion of Tom DeLay, largely silent and unseen supporter of the entire corrupt majority government that has fouled the pants of our great nation.
I have been praying for the dems to put up somebody good to challenge Kline. I don't know if Rowley is that somebody but she's taking the right line for the 2nd Minnesota. "Independent-minded, international security, civil liberties." And she's known.
Rowley says she's been pressured to have a makeover. Gad! The last one the dems put up was Teresa Daly. She looked like she was posing for a box of Betty Crocker.

Nobody thinks the 2nd Minnesota is competitive. I sure hope they're all wrong.
