According to the AP Al Franken has told "a senior Minnesota Democratic official" that he plans to run for senate in 2008 against incumbant Republican Norm Coleman. Quoting the story "Franken has been calling members of the Minnesota congressional delegation to get their input on a run, and he announced this week that he would be leaving his show on Air America Radio on Feb. 14. He told listeners he would be making a decision on a race soon." -- It seems clear that he will run, but does he have a chance at getting the nod? As a DFL voter I can say that I would definately vote for him in the primary, but I've been saying I want him to run for senate for years. Answers from other Minnesota DFL votes will be appreciated, but anyone else feel free to voice their opinion.

You elected Jesse Ventura as your governor while the rest of the country was laughing at you. By the end of his term, we weren't laughing at him (or you) anymore.
So why not? He has almost 2 years to persuade the voters on whether or not he would be a good candidate.

Holy Hell! No way! what's it with Minnesota? they have considered considered one of those captivating state, severe extreme high quality human beings, yet seem to locate the dumbest applicants to run for place of labor. I enjoyed Jesse Ventura… on an identical time as he exchange right into a WWF wrestler (he did extremely solid in Predator too) yet to vote him as Governor? Come on! Al Franken is humorous…a million% of the time. something of the time, he's ranting and raving approximately some stupid nonsense that he whipped up after eating his koo-koo juice. A U.S. Senate seat is a innovations too significant of a interest to acquire to a crackpot like Al Franken.

I really hope not. According to my sister who is a DFL voter he's got no chance. I can't believe that you would vote for him. He is mean spirited, makes unsubstantiated accusations and can't get any further left. He is a polarizing person to be sure.

It depends on whether Minnesotans want to be represented in the U.S. Senate by an evil, ill-mannered, not-funny clown.

It all depends on how may commies and America Haters are in his area to vote for him.
He will get the pro-terrorist vote, for sure.
