Al Franken

Watching this cheap shot artist on Letterman tonight, I am very excited about the prospect of the DFL nominating him for US Senate in 2008. It will be a lot easier for the Independence Party to compete in the race if they only have to face one major party challanger.

Everything he has said in the context of Minnesota politics will be fair game in two years, and I'm pretty sure he's managed to annoy the hell out of every Minnesotan with the exception of the 28% (Skip Humphrys share of the vote in 1998) that are hardcore Democrats.
