Al Franken raises $1.9 million

Some arguments aren't even worth getting in for me

Conan's delusional, but any Democrat here already has a floor of 45%, and as pointed out before, the people who really hate Franken aren't going to vote for a Democrat anyway. That said, I don't want to nominate him.

So, what would the base vote be against Al Franken for Norm Coleman, which is to me, quite frankly, just as important of a question.

I can also assume that third-parties are not part of this equation

They usually don't play that big of a role in Senate races. IP votes would probably come mostly from Coleman in this scenario though.

The base vote against Franken probably would be similar, about 45%, which of course is higher than your typical Democrat.

Franken might benefit from something that benefited Ventura: people showing up to vote for him who wouldn't have voted normally.
