Could Becky Lourey challenge Norm Coleman in '08?

[election_2004]

I like what I've seen from Becky Lourey so far (I'm in Wisconsin, but my mom's side of the family has Minnesota roots), and I hope she becomes the DFL gubernatorial nominee this year.

But in the event that Mike Hatch gets the DFL nomination (and is able to defeat Pawlenty), what are the odds that Becky Lourey could challenge Norm Coleman for his U.S. Senate seat in 2008?

In that scenario, I personally believe that Lourey would make a much more credible candidate than Al Franken.

1. I think so, too

I think Lourey would play better in the rural areas.

2. I agree

and she's more liberal than Franken.
