He's Good Enough. He's Smart Enough. But Doggone It, Do People Like Him?

Word is that Al Franken is considering a run for a Minnesota Senate seat in 2008 against Republican Norm Coleman. It's a long way off and who knows if he can win, but it would be great for Minnesota and for the country.

Coleman, a former Democrat, who garners great support from Bush, Cheney & Co. would never have even been a senator had extremely popular incumbent Paul Wellstone not died in a plane crash just 11 days before the 2002 election. If Franken could unseat him, it will go a long way to returning the Senate to the hands of the Democrats.
