Has anyone else been getting his campaign emails? They send about two a day, and they are all freaking out:
"OMG LYKE WE R UM LIKKE WITHIN SINGUL DIJITS ACCORDNG 2 SUM RANDUM POLL, DHUS RASE IZ TILTIN RRR"
Considering the guy only won by less than one percent in a Dem wave year in a reliably Democratic state, I would be very cautious too.
That was with a significant third party showing. I believe the third party candidate hurt Franken a lot more than Coleman. We probably won't see that this year.
This, plus the fact that Franken has really done a lot to improve his "serious" image which was obviously almost nonexistent when he stepped into the race in 2008 as a talk radio host and former SNL cast member.
Honestly, I think that's a lot of why this race is so different from 2008. He's proven his chops as a Senator; he's no Jesse Ventura. And I think Minnesotans respect that.
