1. MN gov?

Do not rumors persist that Al Franken was/is considering
either the US Senate or Gov's seat? He's a St. Paul native, IIRC. Could do worse, much worse, than Al...he'd probably do well and
keep 'em chuckling.

4. Al Franken may run for US Senate in 2008 against Norm Coleman.

Franken isn't running for office in 2006.

3. Don't think Hatch counts

as to me he does not seem like the stereotypical populist.

5. Jerry Janezich.

Assuming he doesn't replace Oberstar when the time comes.
