The editor of The Nation has a suggestion: country rocker and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer John Mellancamp. In an interview on MSNBC talk show "Morning Joe," Katrina vanden Heuvel suggested he would make a great Senator. "He has had a long track record with working for farmers and demonstrates true populist politics, " she said. "But beyond Mellencamp, the true problem with the country must come from deep structural changes in the Senate, that must focus on the working middle class."
Indy Social wants to know what you think of John Mellencamp for Senator. Drop us a note at: indysocial@gmail.com, or feel free to comment below.

Hmm, wonder if he's interested yet? If he's in the mood to be a Citizen-Rockstar-Senator from the Great State of Indiana, it seems to be the one chance to get a (perhaps) electable Progressive into the seat. Despite the MSM always saying how "conservative" Indiana is, President Obama took the state w/ a 50,000 vote edge - and if Mellencamp ran a high-profile, truly progressive campaign, it would be a goddamn hell of a battle - and a hell of alot of fun - and I think he's do a fine job. C'mon, John! (PS: I'm probably not clicking on the "Coats For Senate" Google ad showing up here currently...)
ReplyDeleteTim, you are not a lone. The movement is gaining serious momentum. So far, no word from John.
