Senate candidate Wetterling calls for Iraq troop withdrawal

[bemildred]

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Democratic Senate candidate Patty Wetterling is calling on the Bush administration to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq by Thanksgiving of next year.

The widely known as an advocate for children's safety announced her move in an e-mail letter to her supporters and later at a meeting of Minnesota's D-F-L State Central Committee.

Wetterling says she believes the country must spend as much as necessary to arm, support and protect the troops, but says she also feels it's time to bring them home.

Wetterling is one of three Democratic Senate candidates seeking the seat being vacated by Democrat Mark Dayton, who is not running for re-election.

1. Hope she gets it

I'll be sad to see Dayton go.

That speech he gave during the Condi confirmation debate was a classic:

"I don't like impugning anyone's integrity, but I really don't like being lied to..." etc

[goodhue]

2. Patty currently has an ad on DU home page!

Good to see.
