1. why isn't 'the Body' in that polling?

:)

[dempartisan23]

3. dont know

i think he until 5pm today to get in the race

[tridim]

5. He said he wasn't running, last night on CNN.

[MarjorieG]

10. Jesse Ventua isn't running.

[dempartisan23]

12. who would he take more votes from?

[JI7]

35. he would hurt Franken the most

[RNdaSilva]

36. Was waiting for a message from God...

apparently he didn't get the call.

[bdamomma]

2. yes, this is the way you do it.

get rid of that dead wood. Coleman you are out!!

[freesqueeze]

4. This is great news...

in a way, but I would rather have Franken satirizing at will instead of working on the inside.

[dempartisan23]

11. franken will be great.

[rocktivity]

6. Beating Norm Coleman is as easy

As running George Galloway's congressional testimony against him. Or at the very least, get a freeze frame of Coleman's reaction--it was priceless.

:headbang:
rocknation

[sufrommich]

7. I would love to see him win,he's a good Democrat,

and it may cause Bill O'Reilly's head to explode.

[janet118]

24. Not to mention the "big, fat idiot" Rush Limbaugh

If Franken wins, Rush will explode like an infected pimple leaving only giant puss stains across the entire East coast.

Ick!!! I grossed myself out.:puke:

[northernsoul]

8. Good news, but hardly time to get overly confident

This is going to be a very tough race in Minnesota.

[dempartisan23]

9. i agree

[grantcart]

13. best news of the day

[RedShoes]

14. isn't this the wrong forum? But it's great news.

just asking :shrug:

[quakerboy]

15. I hope Rasmussen is better than SUSA

http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=1fb0a633-859e-41ac-86d8-04c941d1eb97

As of yesterday, the 14th, SUSA has it 52 for Coleman, 39 for Franken.

I never cared for Franken on the radio, but I am rooting for him because we need democrats, even if their voices annoy me. What do the people on the ground there say about the state of things?

[malik flavors]

16. Haha, I would love for Franken to win. That would be pretty awesome.

[ravishane]

17. As an ex-Minnesotan

I am VERY disturbed that the DFL couldn't get a better damn candidate than Franken to run against that lizard Coleman. It's really frustrating. The DFL (Democratic-Farmer-Laborer) is not quite the same as the entertainment wing of the Democratic Party, you know?

[dempartisan23]

18. i was wondering that myself

[snowbear]

20. I'm wondering about both of you.

So you don't like Al Franken.

Are you suggesting he wouldn't do a better job than Norm Coleman?

[dempartisan23]

33. of course

but i think another candidate would be way ahead. franken wasnt the strongest candidate.

[RNdaSilva]

37. Agree...

[MoonRiver]

19. YAY!

Go Al Go!! :woohoo:

[Downtown Hound]

21. YEAH! You know what the best part of Franken winning the

Senate would be? It would drive Bill O'Reilly insane.

[Seen the light]

23. His speeches live from the floor of the Senate would be priceless

C-SPAN would get its best ratings ever!

[gateley]

22. K&R -- nt

[truthisfreedom]

25. Excellent! I've been hoping he'd put my dontations to good use.

It's about time. I told him he'd better win.

On edit:

I wonder if Jesse's appearance and disappearance on the ticket caused people to think a bit more about what's at stake?

[InvisibleTouch]

26. Good! I wish him well. n/t

[SunDrop23]

27. GO AL!!!!!

[barack the house]

28. WTG Franken. ...

Keep placing paid ads in local papers for your senators and why you want him/her to win. It seems to of worked. Make the personal ad as passionate as possible. Also in all local papers across the nation put small ads for novamradio.com and headonradionetwork.com . Let's take this country back big time. As long as we have the congress we can sleep safe at nights. Keep those ads coming till November. Oregon needs Merkley let's work on that seat now.

[barack the house]

30. If folks can think of any other ideas to get folks elected keep brainstorming. Work to do people.

[HughMoran]

29. No way!

You go Al!

[JoFerret]

31. Yay! From this poll to electoral victory

may it be so.

[barack the house]

32. Just chekced the previous figure changes big swing. Keep those local ads coming for all seats....

Let's stomp the noise machine silent.

[AtomicKitten]

34. Ventura might be a fly in the ointment.

[RNdaSilva]

38. Nope!

Jesse didn't get that call from God.

Watch the news?

[AtomicKitten]

39. he's been flailing about on Larry King

saying not too nice things about the candidates running

miss it?

[RNdaSilva]

40. Candidates? All candidates.

Did he not say that if called upon that he would serve Barack Obama? Yes he did.

He didn't have "nice things" to say about any candidate, e.g., a wash.

[AtomicKitten]

42. Franken.

We're talking Franken.

[SoCalDem]

41. Franken needs to get Normie's dentist to do some commercial for him

Normie tried to stiff his dentist after he installed the chiclets into his mouth..

before & after

[sandyd921]

43. Fantastic!

Buh-bye Norm!

:woohoo:
