IF they are THAT dumb - should we even LET them call themselves Americans? I think not.
Minnesota - do NOT vote for Al Franken.

Could we EVER take them seriously again?

My daughter goes to the U of MN and it's a lovely place - I just hope it stays that way!

If the majority of people in Minnesota are that stupid, then let them live with they're mistake, just as the majority of morons in Michigan are regretting turning corrupt leadership over to a pack of commie racist subhuman scumbag D's, of which have been running the state into the ground, just look it up, Mi has the worst economy in the nation, highest job loss, business's folding up and pulling out, the realty market in jeopardy, taxes beyond the realm of comprehension, crime skyrocketing, schools failing, families breaking up, and the list goes on and on...they should just rename it Michifornia:(

As a former MN resident (and U of MN alumni) I would say yes. The history of Minnesota politics is interesting. They were the only state not to vote to for Reagan in both presidential elections. They obviously vote on star power though based on the previous governor Jesse "The Body" Ventura.
It isn't that they are dumb, it is because the Democrats in MN is three parties in one. Democrat Farmer Labor Party or DFL. The DFL has strong Urban appeal (Democrat) strong rural appeal (Farmer) and strong Union appeal (Labor). There is a huge GLB community in Minneapolis and the many Universities provide a large number of DFL activists.

Al Franken reaches more people and is much more effective as a radio host, TV personality, and a writer. He's witty, well researched, and makes (thinking) people think. The left would be better off with him in media than in the Senate.

Haha.
My mother--who is a Republican--is working at an organization that's fundraising for Al Franken.
The script she has to read is embarrassingly trite. Nobody falls for it. Everyone she calls, even people in Minnesota, are unwilling to even say that they'll support Franken in the primary. Most Democrats think he's a joke. He's too far left for Minnesota Democrats. Even though they can sometimes be radical, they're more often than not very independent minded. People outside of Minnesota hate him even more.
So, my mother never reaches her target when she's calling for Franken. She has more success on Emily's List - no joke.
I thought I'd comfort you with a little news from the inside. He's not a popular guy. I don't know how much of a chance he's got. Plus, whoever he has working on his campaign that writes these scripts is a freakin' idiot. Let's be encouraged by that!

this is a good question. The Governor of Minnesota has been asked to look on the final votes solid to verify if any fraud became into committed. With ACORN in contact it incredibly is extraordinarily in all danger.

Twenty years ago I would never have thought that Arnold would have a chance in politics.
If the Governator can make it, anyone can. It would be amusing to watch Franken on CSPAN.

Why don't you leave. With that kind of attitude you're as much of a divisive setback for humanity than Al and Jesse. Maybe you're just being humorous as Don Imus. You should be ashamed of yourself. To criticize a policy or issue is worthy but to attack a person is contemptible. You must be a right wing bigot. They should vote for their candidate of choice.

Why? Because you disagree with Al Franken ? That's funny!

I'd like to see what kind of Christ-like lies you neocons can manage to muster up against Franken,
The man has been married to the same woman for thirty years,
Your average Republican Politician would be going on his fourth wife by then!..

Well if we as a nation elected an actor and if we as a nation elected a failed businessman turned "part time" governer; and if a state elected a bodybuilder turned actor and another state elected a wrestler....what's the problem with a comedian turned talk show host? It sure beats a professional politician!!!
