Al Franken's U.S. Senate campaign in Minnesota has turned a corner. After a tough summer with a series of setbacks, there were plenty of announcements of his demise, but the former comedian and talk host is actually, barely, minutely leading...
While Democrats invited Al Franken to speak at the Democratic National Convention on a day his staff said he would be in Minnesota and not in Denver, Senator Coleman was featured in Senator Obama’s nomination video shown tonight before Obama’s speech at Invesco Field. This is another national embarrassment for Team Franken!
Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from. Al Franken, "Oh, the Things I Know", 2002 Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes.Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC) Assert your right to make a few mistakes. If people can't accept your...
This was just released: “The 2008 Conservative Leadership Conference announced today that blogger Michael Brodkorb of ‘Minnesota Democrats Exposed’ has been chosen to receive the annual Blogger of the Year Award.

St. Paul – During a press event at the State Capitol today, leaders from Minnesota’s agriculture and renewable energy community took issue with Al Franken’s comments that he would have voted to kill the 2005 Energy Bill, which included the first-ever Renewable Fuels Standard that helped spur the ethanol and biofuels boom in Minnesota.

Franken used his fundraiser in Denver to press his case and harkened back to the legendary Sen. Paul Wellstone. Well, I knew Paul Wellstone. Wellstone was a friend of mine, and Franken is no Wellstone.
Others have already taken Norm Coleman to task for joining the anything but a win for free market energy “gang of 16″. I’m calling the Senator and his campaign complete and utter idiots for actually having the liberal loving cajones to send the following email out via the campaign. I just updated this. I forgot to [...]

Is it true that everyone in the US knows about this talking fish thing? Billy Bass, or maybe Wally the Walleye?

Anyway, here's the new ad: Read the comments on this post...
This video from the Minnesota College Republicans poped up on YouTube of people being asked if Al Franken’s joke about drugging and raping Lesley Stahl is funny. As you can see from the video, Franken’s rape joke doesn’t go over very well.
The editorial page of the Minneapolis StarTribune weighs in on the debate over "card check": That pitched national battle is why the issue is at the forefront of Minnesota’s Senate race. The Senate holds the key to EFCA’s future. Democratic contender Al Franken supports EFCA; Republican Norm Coleman does not. Both labor and business have pledged millions for their cause, with some of that well-funded...
