Walz gets front page coverage

Democratic congressional candidate Tim Walz, seeking to replace six-term incumbent Gil Gutknecht in Minnesota's 1st district, made front section news coverage around the country this morning responding to Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld for comments he made about opponents to the Iraq war.

According to Devlin Barrett writing in the Washington Post:

Walz, a Minnesota schoolteacher and veteran of the U.S. Army National Guard, said the Bush administration has no effective plan to secure the country.

"This thing has disintegrated," Walz said of Iraq. "On the macro level, there's an absolute failure."
