- Why is no one covering Dodd''s filibuster against retroactive telecom immunity? Gag order from on high?

- I love Al Franken. I think he is savvy, smart, has a heart, and has a brain. I wish he was running in my state so I could vote for him.

- I would rather have a moron than the ones we have now, who act like they are saving America while they plunder our once great land. Time to try something new, and a Demotool, as some of you have called him, is a change from the robber barons destroying things now. If these neocons had to work like the middle class they are destroying, I bet their tune would change.

- As for the "25%''ers," well, these neo-cons and their cynical minions are just a few dead-enders. Hey, just because Don Rumsfeld said something, that does not void the entire concept.
But seriously, there will always be a small portion of the electorate that votes by deciding, "What if I were the richest and most powerful person in the world? Who would I vote for?"
But look, we the people, the real people, the ones who work for a living and produce the wealth that is usurped and consumed by the rich, WE will NEVER be welcomed into that echelon. So come on, folks. Either vote for your own real interests, or, vote for the good of your country. Either way, at this time in our history, you go with the Democrat.
Some day, the Republican party will probably regain a conscience and a better idea of what is good for America. But that day is some few years away. Until then, vote with your eyes open and your mind focused. That is what "you can do for your country." - Reply to this comment

I can clearly see what''s hateful and arrogant and out of touch with your post. What''s arrogant, hateful, and out of touch about Al Franken?

Nothing Lie ber man does is a slap in the face to Democrats because he''s the Senator from Israel and his allegiance lies with that country. - Reply to this comment

But if you remove the Republican''s out of the equation then you get an approval of some where in the upper 40 percent pretty high in fact the bush bots would love in the upper 30 percent. - Reply to this comment
- He''s good enough, he''s smart enough, and dog-gone it, people like him. Yes, that''s right! Nobody would have predicted it, but now, the New Al Franken Decades begin!

- "Al Franken is the epitome of liberalism: arrogant, hateful, elite, and out-of-touch with middle America. His Hollywood ties are certainly a negative, since most of America despises those weirdos."
mike71067 defines the Bushie 25-percenters as "most of America"?! That''s funnier than most of Franken''s jokes! Enough with the Rove math already! - Reply to this comment
- The voters get a choice at last. Al Franken the joker, or Norm Coleman the joke. Pick the latter; the joke''s on you.

- Franken is miles ahead of anyone the GOP has to offer.
The fact that these Neocons hate him is a measure of just how good he really is.
Hats off to Al. - Reply to this comment

- Al, be the first in a new wave of Congressmen (and women) who actually care about this country. Do not get infected with "Washingtonitis" where you suddenly suffer a loss of all moral control, and replace it with limitless greed. Help America find it''s way back to that ideal we immortalized on the Statue of Liberty.
