A group of New Jersey activists wants Bruce Springsteen to run for senator. The group called “Independence for New Jersey” has the guidance of Doug Friedline, who was a campaign aide to Jesse Ventura in the 1998 Minnesota governoral elections. Springsteen has not been contacted yet.
I wonder if he would be interested. Many of his songs have been political after all, from his cover of Woody Gurthie’s This Land is your Land to Born in the USA and American Skin. He always seemed to me to be an old fashioned sort of blue collar Democrat, it would be interesting to see what and how he would do in real politics.
I would vote for him.
