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.

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.

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...
