2. Bush is the greatest wimp of all, ever...
using daddy to get out of the draft and then not even showing up for duty much of the time. There is no bigger cowering pansy anywhere!

4. exactly
and we need a powerful STRONG voice against Bush the wimp and coward.

Franken is definitely NOT it. He won't even address the issue of election theft, that's juts for starters.

3. Great news.
I'm not a huge fan of his show (talk radio, well, radio in general bores me), but from what I know of his positions, he will be a wholesale improvement over the majority of our people in the Senate, and I bet he can win, too.

5. Go Franken Go!
He's not my ideal choice but we need a instant NAME ID candidates. The repugs run all kinds of celebs and get them elected, it's time we play hardball. Franken is still 10X more articulate than Dayton on a good day. Even if don't really listen to Air America, you got to give him credit for the courage of starting it.

:bounce:

Another good possiblity is getting Fritz Mondale out of retirement. This time he will be able to run a FULL campaign and he almost won last time as a last second replacement. The man's been Senator and V.P., he knows how to win if given the right resources to do so.

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

6. I'd let Mondale stay.
I'm still letdown about the way he let Wellstone's seat get away.

And he is soooo old.

7. Yesterday, he said he wasn't running -- yet.
Air America is important, and Franken is their franchise player. I don't think he'll leave yet.
