As much as I like Al Franke... (Below threshold)

As much as I like Al Franken as a great comic mind, it's a little hard for me to view him as a senator myself. But I suppose with some many clowns in Washington already, he may not be much different than what's there anyway. And folks from Minnesota are always pretty nice anyway as well. I guess voters could do worse.

I guess Coleman now has a r... (Below threshold)
Larry:

I guess Coleman now has a real chance to keep his Senate seat. Too bad for the Dems, but it looks like they lost their minds with Franken as their nominee. This is what happens when the fringe of either party takes over.
