DEMOCRATS URGING JOE ATKINS TO CHALLENGE ROWLEY
Coleen Rowley's candidacy is in serious trouble.
##
One Democratic state legislator in the district, Rep. Joe Atkins, said he gets calls every week urging him to run against [Coleen] Rowley for the party's nomination, but he said he has not given it serious thought.
"The key issues in our area are education, education and education," Atkins said. "I would hope and expect any congressional candidate would come to focus on those issues, focus on the things your constituents are concerned about." Source: Associated Press, November 11, 2005

Joe is going to be the next DFL Leader in the House. Why the hell give that up- especially when there is a real possibility that they may gain the two seats needed to win the majority.
He'll stay where he is. There is no guarantee that we'll win that House seat.
Whether Joe runs or not, this shows that the bloom is off of the Rowley Rose. Personally (as a CD 2 resident)I hope she does get the nomination. She may focus national press and money on the race, but she will (in the end) be easier for Congressman Kline to defeat than Teresa Daly was.....
