people need to remember that Minnesota has elected kooky candidates before... need i remind anyone of a certain former governor? 

Plus, this is Paul Wellstone's seat, who would still be in the senate today had he not tragically died. I think those who underestime Franken, (or Ciresi) do so at their own peril.

Coleman isn't toast (Sununu is) but he sure is cooking!

I'm pretty sure Minnesota has learned from that fiasco.

My point is that Minnesota has trumped conventional wisdom in the past and likes flamboyant candidates who speak non-politicianese. Franken is not a lock to win, but people who think he can't haven't a firm grasp of political history or the current reality.
