Today, Selden Spencer formed an exploratory committee to look into a possible 2nd run for Congress in the 4th District. Spencer lost to Tom Latham in the 2006 elections 57% to 43%. Spencer entered the race late and battled name recognition and slow fundraising the entire race. As a first time candidate, though, Spencer greatly improved as the campaign went on.
I would be excited to see Dr. Spencer run again in 2008. By looking into a possible run now, Spencer will be able to negate the affects from entering the race late in 2006.
Spencer had this to say about the exploratory committee...
Finally, we are set to announce the exploratory committee and hope they will be able to guide us in the process of making the 4th District a Democratic voice in Washington. Members include John Norris, Sandy Opstvedt, Bob and Debbie Gitchell, and Berkley Bedell.

Come on folks, let's not kid ourselves about Spencer. He got trounced in a year of record Democratic wins. 57-43 is a HUGE gap to close. Let's keep out options open, I think we can do better.
