Senator Mark |
2005-02-09 |
EFL. Bravely bold Mark Dayton Ran home from Washington He was most afraid to die Oh, brave Mark Dayton . . . Sen. Mark "I'm announcing today that I will not seek re-election to the Senate next year," the one-term senator "I have a firm grasp of the obvious." "Everything I've worked for and everything I believe in depends upon this Senate seat remaining in the Democratic caucus in 2007. I do not believe that I am the best candidate to lead the DFL party to victory next year." . . . Also during his announcement, Dayton said that he has withdrawn his support for the re-election campaign of St. Paul Mayor Randy Kelly, a Democrat who endorsed President Bush in last year's election. Dayton had been seen as vulnerable in a run for a second term. Late last month, a Star Tribune Minnesota Poll found Dayton's approval rating had fallen to 43 percent. . . . . . . When bad polls reared their ugly heads He bravely turned his tail and fled Yes, brave Mark Dayton turned about And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet, He beat a very brave retreat, Bravest of the brave, Mark Dayton |

#3 Is it just me or does this senator find his outlook unpheasant? |

#2 It might make taking taking that seat a little tougher if a stronger Dem candidate than Dayton steps forward. (That wouldn't take much, actually.) |
