Just a few months ago I scoffed--scoffed!--at the idea of Al Franken being a serious candidate for the Senate. Well, time to eat my scoffations. Former Funnyman Franken just received the unanimous endorsement of the Minnesota DFL (Minnesota being too high-and-might to just call its Democrats "Democrats") and will go on to face Senator Norm Coleman in November.
Wow. Nowhere but Minnesota, I guess, with the possible exception of Alaska. I guess Franken fits the "straight-talk" template people want this fall. If Franken wins, and if McCain wins the White House, I sincerely hope Al gets called on to deliver the Democratic rebuttal to the State-of-the-Union speech.
