Al Franken
WASHINGTON - Comedian and radio talk show host Al Franken has begun calling Democratic members of Congress and prominent DFLers to tell them he will definitely challenge Republican Sen. Norm Coleman in 2008, the Star Tribune learned Wednesday.
His personal finances should be interesting. :error: |

He announced it on AirAmerica, but nobody was listening evidently.
Are the ratings that bad? |

Franken was born in New York City into a Jewish family, and grew up in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, in suburban Minneapolis. He attended Saint Louis Park High School until the 10th grade. He graduated in 1969 from The Blake School, where he was on the wrestling team. He attended Harvard University and graduated cum laude in 1973 with a Bachelor of Arts in government.
Franken met his wife, Franni, in his first year at college at a Harvard-Simmons mixer, and they have been together ever since. They have a daughter, Thomasin, and a son, Joe (both attended New York City's prestigious Dalton School). Joe attends Princeton University and Thomasin is a public school teacher in New York City, with a degree in sociology from Harvard University. The Frankens reside in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Franken is a Grateful Dead fan. He uses their songs as bumper music to commercials on his radio show.
Franken is a distant cousin of CNN's Bob Franken. His older brother, Owen Franken, is a
photojournalis
Seems to me he is more than qualified |

Al mentioned this as a possibility many months ago on The Daily Show. At that time he had not made a decision, yes or no. so, He has been thinking about this for a long time.
something bush is incapable of doing.
thinking for ANY length of time. |

Franken is a good man... although militantly liberal, he is a man of convictions and very, very intelligent. He is a master of sarcasm and debate... all in all, I wouldn't be afraid of having Al as a Senator... but then again, I already have Hill and Chuck.... :D
AND... to the Noob knocking Minnesota, WTF? :mad: MN is arguably the most progressive state in the union. Explain your point, or fuck right off! :mad: |

Maybe his campaign can hit up some more inner city youth groups and steal hundreds of thousand from them :) Then claim to not know anything about it...but then be faced with his signature on the paperwork...
SHould be fun....will probably be a bigger mess than an Al Sharpton campaign. :burst: |

| people used to think the earth was flat - let's guess who in this forum have the same mentality as those folks - you guys need a security blanket - you're scared pussies about venturing forward with human kind - you are what is wrong with human kind and your frame of thinking is what has held humanity back for thousands of years |
