Headed off to a series of meet-and-greet receptions with Minnesota candidates, delegates and activists. What should it be? Winner gets asked. Answer posted tomorrow morning.

23. Yeah...it's never been as good as the first 4 seasons
There have been good people but never that kind of cast again - Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Dan Akroyd, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, Laraine Newman, and Garrett Morris.

Combined with regular appearances by SNL writers like Al Franken and Tom Davis and Get Smart creator and Mel Brooks accomplice Buck Henry

and regular appearances by non writers like Steve Martin (when he was funny) and Andy Kaufman

It never got as good as that again

Its hard to believe an idiot like Coleman can get re-elected in a state like Minnesota.

24. Yes I Do Have A Serious Question For You To Ask Him!
Edited on Fri Jun-06-08 09:40 PM by trynotto_giveuphope
It is this:

He either claimed this on AAR, or in one of his books, right when he started considering running for Congress: That, if elected in January 2009, that he would introduce impeachment proceedings against GWB in the time between Congress's inauguration (Jan 3rd) and the President's inauguration (Jan 20th) to try to get a "quickie" impeachment. I think it's a good idea, especially since none of our other Congressfolk seem to be willing to do anything about it. If they impeach Cheney at the same time (as well they should), we could even see the first female president ever, albeit for only a few days.

25. If elected, what will you fight for with everything you have?
I really want to know what he thinks is the most important issue that needs to be addressed and if he is going to throw himself heart and soul into resolving it.
